På senare år har det gjorts stora framsteg i utvecklingen av nya framgångsrika immunterapier för att behandla cancer. Så kallad CAR-T-cellbehandling och behandling med antikroppar är två typer av målriktade immunterapier som har revolutionerat delar av cancervården. Men än kvarstår stora utmaningar med att identifiera proteiner på cancercellers yta som mål för immunterapier. En forskargrupp i Lund

Våra dendritiska celler (DC) är immunsystemets vaktposter och de patrullerar våra kroppar efter bakterier, virus eller cancerceller. När DC hittar en främmande partikel bryter de ner den i mindre bitar – antigen - och presenterar bitarna på cellytan för immunförsvarets mördarceller. På så vis lär sig mördarcellerna vilka smittoämnen och cancerceller som de ska söka upp och döda. I flera studier ha
