Many talks are associating PD-L1 tumor expression with clinical outcome- yet don't tell us definition of PD-L1 positivity. Is it 50%, 5%, 1%? On tumor? On immune "hot-spots"? on APC? Hard to figure out the utility of association. #ImmunoOnc19 UW Cancer Vaccine Institute

Dr. Palucka highlights the issues associated with mutated antigen vaccines; the mutations have to be presented enodogenously in the patients MHC. Most are not. #Immunotherapy #immunoonc19 UW Cancer Vaccine Institute

Dendritic cells are the most important antigen presenting cells for stimulating T-cell responses to cancer. Nobel Prize winning tumor immunologist Dr. Ralph Steinman was honored for his work in this area. #ImmunoOnc19

Dr. Palucka highlights the importance of DC in mediating response to ICI. Recent Immunity paper implicated IFN-g and IL-12 in T cell DC cross-talk. bit.ly/2tHGyxp #ImmunoOnc19 UW Cancer Vaccine Institute

Dr. Kandalaft points out that there are many types of antigens that can be used for vaccination, neo antigens of all types- not just point mutations. Target epigenetic changes, phospho Ag...etc. #ImmunoOnc19 UW Cancer Vaccine Institute

👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ Drs. Sasha Stanton (Sasha Stanton, MD PhD), Nora Disis (Mary L. (Nora) Disis), and fellow UW Cancer Vaccine Institute researchers found that candidate targets recovered from mouse #mammary tumor models are also immunogenic in human #BreastCancer. 📚 Abstact: go.nature.com/3y780Vb
