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. 000007685 650__ $$aImmunotherapy $$020724 000007685 650__ $$aAntibodies$$014849 000007685 650__ $$aVaccines $$027692 000007685 650__ $$aNeoplasms $$022758 000007685 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007685 692__ $$aDepartment of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology$$041429 000007685 7001_ $$aMessenheimer, David J. 000007685 8564_ $$98c80e489-22c1-40ae-ab42-9005d97b1e8d$$s29185259$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7685/files/Messenheimer.David.2016.pdf 000007685 905__ $$a/rest/prod/b2/77/3w/18/b2773w18h 000007685 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7685$$pstudent-work 000007685 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
