Date: June 08, 2021 Time: 08:00am (PDT) COVID-19 displays high clinical variability, but what determines its severity is unclear. Analysis of antigen-specific T cell responses has contribu...
Unravelling the expression, distribution and interaction of tumoral markers is crucial for disease diagnostic and treatment. The past decade marks a milestone in the field of tissue analytic...
Cells in their natural environment are surrounded by a complex extracellular matrix that provides structure and functional cues to the surrounding cells. Hydrogels can be used to approximate...
Primary resistance to CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CART19) occurs in 10% to 20% of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); however, the mechanisms of thi...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand how the outcome of PD-1 blockade is a summation of increased Teffector activity and increased Treg suppressive activity 2. Explain how PD-1 blockade leads...

This webinar will highlight the research solutions that Miltenyi Biotec has to offer for those investigating the roles of Tregs, NK cells, and Macrophages in the context of the tumor microen...
Ovarian cancer is a deadly disease which is usually diagnosed in advanced stages. Our goal is to develop vaccines to prevent relapse. Natural Th17 T cells protect against recurrence followin...
Progress developing immune-based treatments to treat the highly lethal pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has lagged behind other cancer types. This may be due, in part, to a fibroinflam...
Immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) is a front-line treatment for lung cancer; however, low mutational burden and ‘non-T cell inflamed’ signatures predict poor responses to ICT in ~5...
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a soft tissue cancer commonly arising in muscle and is the most common soft tissue cancer in children. Patients with metastatic RMS have a poor prognosis that has n...
Learning Objectives: 1. Define the impact of PD-L1 expressed on non-tumor, non-hematopoietic cells in T cell-mediated tumor control 2. Reveal the contribution of IFNg signaling in dermal lym...
Learning Objectives: 1. Define “universal CARs” and describe their mechanism of action. 2. Explain current challenges in CAR T cell therapy. 3. Describe potential benefits and ch...
Despite the promising results with current approved immunotherapies, all patients do not have the same level of response, and recent efforts have focused on understanding and avoiding immuno...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have demonstrated significant success in treating relapsed or treatment-refractory hematologic malignancies in the clinic, inducing remissions in 70-9...
Prostate cancers are considered immunologically ‘cold’ tumors given the very few patients who respond to checkpoint inhibitor therapy (CPI). Recently, enrichment of interferon st...
