Studies from Vrije University, Cancer Center add new findings in the area of life sciences

Researchers detail in 'Chronically stimulated mouse invariant NKT cell lines have a preserved capacity to enhance protection against experimental tumor metastases,' new data in life sciences. According to recent research from Amsterdam, Netherlands, "In pre-clinical models, CD1d restricted invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells play a pivotal role in natural anti-tumor immune responses, mainly by trans-activating cells of both the innate and adaptive arms via swift and potent cytokine secretion. We have previously reported that patients with a severely reduced circulating iNKT cell pool have a poor clinical response to radio therapy of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma."
