T cell-based mechanisms of immune evasion in aggressive B cell lymphomas

The activation or restoration of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment is an efficient weapon to improve the prognosis of cancer patients. Although B cell lymphoma patients benefit to some extent from T cell-based immunotherapies, the specific needs of these patients suffering from malignant antigen-presenting B cells, naturally specialized for T cell interaction, are unclear. Thus, we will perform holistic analyses of immune response mechanisms and their abrogation during lymphoma development using autochthonous mouse models of aggressive B cell lymphomas.
