Immunologic Attack on Neoplasia

  • Chapter
Malignant Transformation by Viruses

  • 32 Accesses

Abstract

In the simplest view, protection against cancer involves two different possibilities: first, protecting the host against those invaders from without which initiate the neoplastic process and second, protecting the host against the invaders from within which are the cancer cells themselves. The immunologic approach affords the means for attack both upon the invaders from without and the invaders from within. For convenience the immunologic approaches may be divided into the causative agent-specific, the tumor antigen-specific, and the nonspecific.

Research on cancer in our laboratories is supported in part by Contract PH43–64–55 from the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, United States Public Health Service.
