Are there non-self molecules that are recognizable by the immune system on tumors? What self molecules can cause cancer and are they recognizable?
• How does the immune system reacts to cancer cells? What is immunoediting?
• What are NK cells and what are they activated? How do they complement the CTL? What is the missing self model?
• What are the immune mechanisms (cells & cytokines) that eliminate cancer?
• What can be expected in the tumor microenvironment?
• What are there immune mechanisms that are double edged?
• What are the immune responses (cells & cytokines) that help cancer escape elimination?
• Are anti-tumor antibodies always protective? Why?
• What are the different forms of cancer immunotherapies? What is their characteristics and principle of mechanisms?
