Zusammenfassung
Lung cancer, including bronchoalveolar adenocarcinoma is the major cause of death in the USA and Europe. Although lung cancer has been unresponsive to the current immunotherapy, immune-responses to tumour were obtained by combined injection of bone marrow derived DCs and CTL inducing cytokines such as IL-7. IL-7 gene in fact was used because it has the capacity to stimulate CTL responses. The transcription factors nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)s are critical in regulating early gene transcription in response to T cell receptor-mediated signals in lymphocytes. Previous studies on mice lacking NFATc2,…
