## Abstract Immunostimulatory DNA containing unmethylated cytosineβguanine (CpG) motifs have been successfully used as adjuvants to enhance the immunity of vaccines designed to trigger antitumor Tβcell responses. We examined the effect of a CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG ODN) for its ability to pote
## Abstract Although immunotherapy has shown promising results in the treatment of cancer, clinical studies assessing immunologic approaches in patients with advanced cancer will seldom be conducted in the absence of conventional treatment strategies such as chemotherapy. Here we investigate the co
## Abstract Radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer is followed by PSA recurrence in up to 40% of patients. One third of patients with biochemical relapse progress to uncurable metastatic disease. Therefore, alternative treatment modalities are needed both in the situation of PSA recurrence and i
## Abstract ## Background Dendritic cells (DC) are the professional antigenβpresenting cells of the immune system, fully equipped to prime naive T cells and thus essential components for cancer immunotherapy. ## Methods We tested the influence of several elements (cPPT, trip, WPRE, SIN) on the t
