Immunol Res 32:231-45. 2005..Our current work focuses on defining the molecular mechanisms that underlie cancer immunoediting and exploring the implications of this process for cancer immunotherapy...
Cancer immunoediting: from immunosurveillance to tumor escapeGavin P Dunn
Department of Pathology and Immunology, Center for Immunology, Washington University School of Medicine, 660 South Euclid Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA
Nat Immunol 3:991-8. 2002..In this review, we will summarize the historical and experimental basis of cancer immunoediting and discuss its dual roles in promoting host protection against cancer and facilitating tumor escape from immune destruction...
NKT cells act as regulatory cells rather than killer cells during activation of NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity by alpha-galactosylceramide in vivoKenji Chamoto
Division of Immunoregulation, Section of Disease Control, Institute for Genetic Medicine, Hokkaido University, N 15, W 7, Sapporo 060 0815, Japan
Immunol Lett 95:5-11. 2004..Thus, NK cells rather than NKT cells may be a crucial early activated killer induced by alpha-GalCer in vivo...

Division of Immunoregulation, Research Section of Disease Control, Institute for Genetic Medicine, Hokkaido University, N-15 W-7, Kita-ku, Sapporo 060-0815, Japan
Cancer Sci 97:139-47. 2006..Taken together, VitD3 strongly suppressed T-cell responses by inhibiting functional differentiation of precursor dendritic cells into functional BMDC1 that are feasible for inducing Th1-dependent cellular immunity...
An indispensable role of type-1 IFNs for inducing CTL-mediated complete eradication of established tumor tissue by CpG-liposome co-encapsulated with model tumor antigenDaiko Wakita
Division of Immunoregulation, Section of Disease Control, Institute for Genetic Medicine, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan
Int Immunol 18:425-34. 2006..These results highlight the potential utility of CpG-liposomes co-encapsulated with protein tumor antigens as therapeutic vaccines in cancer patients...
IFN-gamma controls the generation/activation of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells in antitumor immune responseHiroyoshi Nishikawa
Second Department of Internal Medicine, Mie University School of Medicine, Tsu, Japan
J Immunol 175:4433-40. 2005..These findings support the idea that IFN-gamma regulates the generation/activation of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells...
Generation of tumor-specific, HLA class I-restricted human Th1 and Tc1 cells by cell engineering with tumor peptide-specific T-cell receptor genesTakemasa Tsuji
Division of Immunoregulation, Institute for Genetic Medicine, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-0815, Japan
Blood 106:470-6. 2005..Thus, TCR gene-modified HLA-class I-restricted Th1 and Tc1 cells are a powerful strategy for the application to adoptive immunotherapy of human cancer...
Liposome-encapsulated CpG oligodeoxynucleotides as a potent adjuvant for inducing type 1 innate immunityYoshinori Suzuki
Division of Immunoregulation, Institute for Genetic Medicine, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan
Cancer Res 64:8754-60. 2004..These results indicate that CpG-liposome alone or combined with tumor antigen protein provides a promising approach for the prevention or therapy of tumors...
The critical role of type-1 innate and acquired immunity in tumor immunotherapyHiroaki Ikeda
Division of Immunoregulation, Institute for Genetic Medicine, Hokkaido University, Kita-ku, Sapporo 060-0815, Japan
Cancer Sci 95:697-703. 2004..Therefore, we conclude that the activation of type-1 innate and acquired immunity is crucial for tumor immunotherapy in order to overcome strong immunosuppression in the tumor-bearing host...
Identification of a novel NY-ESO-1 promiscuous helper epitope presented by multiple MHC class II molecules found frequently in the Japanese populationTakayuki Ohkuri
Division of Immunoregulation, Section of Disease Control, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan
Cancer Sci 98:1092-8. 2007..These findings expand the usefulness of NY-ESO-1 as a tool for tumor vaccine therapy in eliciting NY-ESO-1-specific helper T-cell responses, especially in Japanese cancer patients...
