When it works, what does it “See”?
What target or targets does it attack?
What “weapons” does it attack with?
Why do some tumors regress?
Why doesn’t the immune response work better in cancers?
Can the immune response in cancer make the pathology worse?
How can we make the immune response works better in cancer?
Specific Adaptive Immune
Responses:
Humoral:AntibodyAntigen
(Uses Antibodies to
recognize Targets)
Cell-Mediated:
Helper and Cytotoxic TCells
(Uses T-Cell Receptors to
Recognize Targets)
Anti-Cancer Effector Mechanisms
Humoral:
Antibody and complement
Lymphokines and other cytokines
Cell-Mediated Immunity:
Cytotoxic T-Cells
Natural Killer Cells (NK Cells)
Activated Killer Cells
Activated macrophages
Lymphokine-activated Lymphocytes
Granulocytes
Combined Humoral and Cell-mediated:
Antibody-dependent Cell-mediated Cytotoxicity
The specific adaptive immune response recognizes specfic
structures on target cells. These targets for the specific
adaptive immune response are called _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
0 of 5
These specific targets for the specific adaptive immune reponse
are recognized by two different majors types of recognition
molecules. Name either one of the two types of structure or
proteins that recognizes target molecules (antigens) of the
specific adaptive immune response.

Should the Biology of Cancer course be retained as an
undergraduate major course in Biology?
This question is set to anonymous. I will not know what choice you selected and this is not graded. Biology of Cancer is not a usual
course for a Biology Department. We have had this course going for 35 years. Should we keep it or drop it? (multiple choice)
Responses
Drop it. It belongs in a medical school.

Keep it. It is a valuable option among our undergraduate courses.

This Biology of Cancer course needs to be made more
rigorous. It is too superficial and not-challenging enough for
an upper division undergraduate course for majors.

be more challenging.

challenging enough.

This Biology of Cancer course covers too much. It is too
diffuse and not focused enough.

This Biology of Cancer course is set at a level which is too
difficult for upper division undergraduates. It is too hard to
follow what is going on.

about right.

General Concepts on Host-Response
in Cancer (Part 1)
Does the Host Respond to Prevent
Oncogenesis?
Does the Host Respond to Limit Neoplastic
Growth and Progression?
If So, How Does the Host Respond?
What Exactly Is the Host Recognizing?
• To Prevent Oncogenesis
• To Limit Growth and ProgressionGenResp1
General Concepts on Host-Response
in Cancer (Part 2)
Is the Appearance and Growth of Cancer Related to
Weakened Host Response?
Genetically Weakened?
Environmentally Weakened?
Physiologically or Pathologically Weakened?
Can Host Response Actually Facilitate Tumor
Appearance and Enhance Tumor Growth
and Progression?
Can the Recognition and Response Mechanisms be
Mobilized, Enhanced, and Directed for
Cancer Management and Cancer Therapy?
Can They Be Used in Cancer Prevention?

Response in Cancer

4.

host unresponsiveness.
8.

intervention (e.g. surgery or radiation)
10. Generation of suppressor cells and suppressor factors
11. Sneaking through by early low levels of tumor targets followed by
enhancement or unresponsiveness (tolerance)

In the picture below this is a macrophage bound to a T-lymphocyte.
Assume that the macrophage is presenting something on a Class II
MHC molecule to the T-cell.
What would it be presenting to the T-Cell?

target cell, but how does the NK cell know this is a tumor cell?
What is actually directing the NK cell to the tumor cell target?
