A lovelly day in Sydney, working in the office, another 20 hours. Getting so many things sorted for the business and family.

these studies are so good, they came in today, very exciting.

study hard, have hope, the cure is here. I have faith. Some of these drugs are available germany at friendly prices! I feel optomistic, despite a few cells.

I started back on xeloda today, wonderful. just wonderful.

no bites from 60 minutes, or abc. I better make my money some other way, which I am doing.

4 Conclusions

In this study we show that local reduction of DCs mediated by iNKT cells regulates the response to immunotherapy in a mouse model of aggressive breast cancer. The elimination of APC that cross-present tumor-derived antigens in dLNs was shown previously to be one mechanism of immunosuppression mediated by Tregs [26]. However, iNKT cells were believed to consistently perform anti-tumor activities, while immunosuppressive functions were ascribed to the non-invariant subset of NKT cells [59]. Here we demonstrate for the first time a novel mechanism of immune escape mediated by iNKT cells.
These results have important implications for the design of immunotherapies targeting iNKT cells (reviewed in [58]). CD1d blockade, or the iNKT-depleting antibody NKTT120 recently developed for inflammatory diseases [60], could have a role in treatment of cancers in which iNKT acquire immunosuppressive functions.
