Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Ccr7 ligand delivery and co-delivery in immunotherapy

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Alice Anna Tomei, Iraklis Kourtis

Chemokines may be administered to a patient for immunotolerization. Chemokines include CCL19 and CCL21. Materials and methods for accomplishing tolerization and described. ...

6-Thioguanine-loaded polymeric micelles deplete myeloid-derived suppressor cells and enhance the efficacy of T cell immunotherapy in tumor-bearing mice

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Laura Jeanbart, Iraklis Kourtis

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of immature myeloid cells that suppress effector T cell responses and can reduce the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies. We previously showed that ultra-small polymer nanoparticles eff ...

Therapeutic Immunomodulation of the Lymphoid-like Tumor Environment Using Nanoparticulate Formulations

Iraklis Kourtis

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that lead to tumor escape and evasion is pivotal for the design of new therapeutic applications. This thesis takes an immunobioengineering approach, and navigates through ...

Tumor manipulation of host immunity is important for tumor survival and invasion. Many cancers secrete CCL21, a chemoattractant for various leukocytes and lymphoid tissue inducer cells, which drive lymphoid neogenesis. CCL21 expression by melanoma tumors i ...

Vaccines aiming to activate cytotoxic T cells require cross-presentation of exogenous antigen by antigen-presenting cells (APCs). We recently developed a synthetic nanoparticle vaccine platform that targets lymph node-resident dendritic cells (DCs), capabl ...
