Cancer immunology and immunotherapy are driving forces of research and development in oncology, mostly focusing on CD8 T cells and the tumor microenvironment. Recent progress highlights the importance of CD4 T cells, corresponding to the long-known fact that CD4 T cells are central players and coordinators of innate and antigen-specific immune responses. Moreover, they have now been recognized as anti-tumor effector cells in their own right. Here we review the current status of CD4 T cells in cancer, which hold great promise for improving knowledge and therapies in cancer.
癌症免疫学和免疫疗法是肿瘤学研究和开发的主要驱动力,主要集中在 CD8 T 细胞和肿瘤微环境上。最近的进展强调了 CD4 T 细胞的重要性,这与 CD4 T 细胞是先天和抗原特异性免疫反应的核心参与者和协调者这一长期公认的事实相对应。此外,它们现在已经被认为是具有抗肿瘤效应的细胞。在这里,我们回顾了 CD4 T 细胞在癌症中的现状,这为提高癌症的知识和治疗水平提供了巨大的希望。
