Podcast: the many colors of tumor-specific T cells, Pia Kvistborg, Netherlands Cancer Institute
The CytohubIt is well established that T-cell based immunotherapy can be very effective in treating cancers. Neo-antigens, which are epitopes that come about because of tumor-specific mutations caused by DNA damage are attractive targets for the immune system because central tolerance is lacking due to the tumor-restrictive nature. To study this, the group of Pia Kvistborg, […]

Flow cytometry and principles of panel design
The CytohubThe correct choice of the reagents is an important consideration in flow cytometry as the wrong one can result in the loss of resolution in experimental data. In experiments involving the detection of several markers, the choice of the reagent panel is governed by whether the markers are co-expressed or not. In co-expressed markers, the […]

Tumor cells versus the immune system: the battle for supremacy
The CytohubThe detection and elimination of tumors by the immune system and the evasive response of the tumor cells are both truly remarkable phenomena involving many cellular and molecular players. The process of tumor elimination begins when the innate immune system is alerted to the presence of tumor cells, following which a whole host of factors […]
