Cytokines, tumour-cell death and immunogenicity: a question of choice
Immunology today, 1997•cell.com
How do cytokines released by engineered tumour cells provoke tumour rejection and an
immune memory? Is vaccination with tumour cells that have been engineered to secrete
cytokines a viable therapeutic perspective? Piero Musiani and colleagues have sought an
answer to these questions by transfecting the same tumour with the genes of various
cytokines and elucidating the features of the reactions elicited.
