With respect to cancer, the immune system relies on dendritic cells (DCs), a subset of potent endogenous APCs, to prime cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).

Key Points: 
  • With respect to cancer, the immune system relies on dendritic cells (DCs), a subset of potent endogenous APCs, to prime cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).
  • Unfortunately, however, most cancer cells can acquire strategies to escape DC-elicited immunity resulting in the development of deadly tumors.
  • To overcome this issue, Defence Therapeutics applied a novel strategy, which consists at reprogramming the immune-suppressive MSCs to convert them into potent APCs.
  • This application discovered that it uses a unique cell type to which tumor cells are not programmed to respond.
