60 60 8/2/2015 Performance Objectives

61 61 8/2/2015 Key Terms l antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), benign tumour, cancer, l carcinogens, proto oncogens, immune surveillance, Specific immunotherapy, l non specific immunotherapy, immunotoxins,Lymphokine activated killer cell(LAK),

62 62 8/2/2015 l neoplasm, oncofetal antigens, oncogens, tumour, tumour associated antigens, l tumour associated transplantation antigens, tumour specific antigens, l tumour specific transplantation antigens

63 63 8/2/2015 Key Concepts l Differentiate between a benign tumour and a malignant tumour. l Describe the concept of immunosurveillance l Describe the different ways that tumours can camouflage themselves to evade immune defenses, l Discuss the advantages of immunotherapy over other forms of cancer therapy.

64 64 8/2/2015 l Distinguish between specific and nonspecific immunotherapy with the use of specific examples. l Describe immunotoxins. l Describe the development of humanized antibodies to tumour antigens l Evalulate the contribution of T cells, NK cells, Macrophages, and B cells to tumour immunity.

65 65 8/2/2015 l Distinguish between tumour specific transplantation antigens and tumour assoicated transplantation antigens. l Describe oncofetal antigens.

66 66 8/2/2015 Short Answer Questions

67 67 8/2/2015 l Explain how some cancer cells that can make TGF-beta are immunosuppressive. l Tumours and transplants are similar to one another,yet very different. Explain this observation in the context of what the immune system recognizes and the result of this recognition. l The qualities of proliferation and differentiation are essentially all that distinguishes a normal cell from a cancer cell. Explain.

68 68 8/2/2015 l Design an experiment using mice that proves that the immune system provides immunity against tumours. l Distinguish between tumour-specific transplantation antigens (TSTA) and tumour associated transplantation antigens (TATA). l Design an experiment to show Tumour associated Transplantation Antigens (TATA). l What is the main difference separating cell surface antigens from chemically induced and virually induced cancers?

69 69 8/2/2015 l Speculate on why this difference leads to difficulty in designing anticancer vaccines. l What are oncofetal antigens? Are they important in tumour immunity? Why? l What is immune surveillance? l All evidence for immune surveillance is indirect. Speculate on how you could get direct evidence.

70 70 8/2/2015 l What immune cells play a role in tumour rejection? Briefly describe how each accomplishes this task. Include such things as cytokines, perforins, ADCC etc. l Cancers camouflage themselves to evade antitumour defenses. Pick three possible forms of camouflage that you think are most important, describe them and state why you think they are most important. l What are immunotoxins?

71 71 8/2/2015 l Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are the methods most widely used to treat cancer patients. What are the problems with this regimen, and how could immunotherapy overcome these problems. l Distinguish between specific and nonspecific immunotherapy.
