How mice with humanised immune systems are advancing cell-based immunotherapy

Drug Discovery World

As a result, researchers are striving to continually improve immuno-oncology approaches using the patient’s own immune cells to combat tumours. Although immunotherapy has revolutionised cancer therapy, the effectiveness of currently available immunotherapies varies significantly across patients and treatment types.

The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

The first such research dates back to 1891, when William Coley attempted to inject heat-inactivated bacteria to treat osteosarcoma. Genetically modified T cells stimulated with IL2 are now administered as cell therapy for multiple cancer cell types with beneficial results 3,4. This continues to be the standard of care.
