Abstract
In a recent study, we have demonstrated that T helper type 1 (TH1) cells specific for the tumor antigen NY-ESO-1 are amplified at ovarian tumor sites but are not "perverted" into immunosuppressive FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs). These findings encourage the development of protocols aiming to eliminate, or inactivate, FOXP3+ Tregs and reinforce Type I anticancer immunity, to improve clinical outcomes.Entities:
