Anti-tumor immunity induced by ectopic expression of viral antigens is transient and limited by immune escape
6 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Immunotherapeutic treatments in head and neck cancer clinical trials include cancer vaccines targeting foreign viral antigens or mutational neoantigens derived from cancer-expressed proteins. Anti-tumor immune responses place cancer cells under selective pressure to lose or downregulate target antigens; therefore, vaccination against virus- or host- “driver” oncogenes are proposed as a strategy to overcome immune...
