However, suggestions that the immune system can treat cancer have kept scientists searching for potential ways to augment immunity for over 100 years. We hypothesize that overcoming immune tolerance and activating a functional anti-tumor T cell response in cancer patients requires sufficient antigenic targets, tumor-specific primed T cells, the proper costimulatory signals, and the right cytokine milieu.}, number = {ETD}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/m42v2f7b}, recid = {7685}, address = {2016}, }
