Cranking the Immunologic Engine with Chemotherapy: Using Context to Drive Tumor Antigen Cross-Presentation towards Useful Antitumor Immunity

Abstract
This review shows how tumor antigen cross-presentation is affected by the major therapeutic modalities including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. We argue that this process could affect the way that a tumor works as its own cellular vaccine, and that it is differentially modulated by the choice of treatment. (Cancer Res 2006; 66(2): 601-4)
