INFOGRAPHICS : Harnessing Innate Immunity To Treat Cancer Infographic

DESCRIPTION : Check and download “Harnessing Innate Immunity To Treat Cancer” Infographic by technologynetworks.com. With the help of this infographic, learn about Immuno-oncology – a type of immunotherapy used to treat cancer. Immuno-oncology works by exploiting the ability of a patient’s immune system to fight disease. Whilst initially efforts were directed towards the adaptive immune system, increasing attention is now aimed towards the role of innate immunity in antitumor responses. This infographic highlights the key elements of the innate immune system and explores the ways innate immune responses can be manipulated to therapeutically targeting cancer. The innate immune system is critical for the initiation and direction of adaptive immunity. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly following infection, activating non-specific cells that trigger acute inflammation. Lymphocytes activated by antigens then give rise to clones of antigen-specific cells involved in the more targeted adaptive immune response. Protection against subsequent infections by the same pathogen, is also increased by the adaptive response.
