A New Hope in Immunotherapy for Malignant Gliomas: Adoptive T Cell Transfer Therapy by Dong-Sup Chung, Hye-Jin Shin, Yong-Kil Hong

“…Although recent clinical results from vaccine strategy for malignant gliomas are encouraging, these trials have some limitations, particularly their failure to expand tumor antigen-specific T cells reproducibly and effectively. An alternative strategy to overcome these limitations is adoptive T cell transfer therapy, in which tumor-specific T cells are expanded ex vivo rapidly and then transferred to patients. …”
