Translational Immunology: Mechanisms and Pharmacologic Approaches highlights and summarizes the most important advances in human immunology, clinical translations, new tools to analyze therapeutic targets, and new pharmacological approaches for autoimmunity, inflammatory disorders, and cancer. The book is an essential resource for those seeking to understand the potential translational applications of burgeoning studies in human immunology, helping readers make sense of the existing and emerging scientific advances. The book grounds fundamental science in the translational realm, providing insights from world renowned researchers at the top of their game in their respective fields, in both industry and academic settings.

Readers will gain an understanding of the rationale and mechanisms underlying current and emerging pharmacologic approaches for interventional immunology, the gaps therein, and new ideas for better and safer therapeutic approaches, and physicians will glean information about pharmacological limitations in altering disease progression and complications. This reference on the translational realization of the burgeoning findings in immunology provides a go-to reference for experienced professional clinicians, researchers, industry scientists, and those seeking more information on the field.

Delivers comprehensive coverage of seminal human immunology discoveries and the resulting impact on therapeutic strategies Presents potential novel targets and approaches for clinical applications in organ specific and systemic autoimmunity, transplant rejection, cancer, and vaccine development Discusses lessons learned from successful and failed clinical trials with specific interventions, including pharmacological issues and limitations, and complications due to immunosuppression Provides information on new strategies and outstanding issues that should be addressed in future research

This book serves as a guide for identifying and applying commonly used cell-based translational assays as well as for assessing the therapeutic potential of new immuno-oncology therapeutics and advancing their mechanism of action. The detailed chapters within will provide readers with a baseline understanding of the pros and cons as well as key considerations for applying assays that are more reflective of the human immune-tumor microenvironment in order to increase their translatability into the clinic. Written for the Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology series, the contents of this volume include the kind of specifics and real-world implementation advice to ensure success in the lab. Authoritative and practical, Immuno-Oncology: Cellular and Translational Approaches aims to aid researchers working on biotechnology and pharmaceutical efforts to search for the next generation of safer and more effective cancer immunotherapeutics.

Animal Models for the Development of Cancer Immunotherapy

Provides readers with a clear understanding of the value and challenges of using common and emerging preclinical models in cancer immunotherapy research and development.

Animal models are essential tools for studying a range of issues in preclinical and clinical research on therapies targeting cancerous tumors. As clinical trials of advances in cancer immunotherapy are predicted to outpace preclinical research in the near future, there remains an urgent need to develop better animal models for preclinical evaluation of novel modulators. Animal Models for the Development of Cancer Immunotherapy provides a detailed overview of different preclinical model systems for development of novel cancer immunotherapies while highlighting how key aspects of individual models translate into clinical findings.

Covering the introduction, development, and therapeutic applications of animal models for cancer immunotherapy, this comprehensive volume helps pharmacologists identify suitable animal models, design pharmacological or translational studies, and advance their mechanistic understanding of therapeutic agents, and increase the possibility of success for novel immunotherapies in clinical settings. Chapters written by prominent leaders in the field address specific models that evaluate immuno-oncology drugs are supported by in-depth case studies and extensive references throughout.

Emphasizes the importance of modeling tumor metastasis in preclinical models for efficient translation of findings into the clinic Explores recently discovered mechanisms of resistance and their preclinical modeling Highlights the unique characteristics and features of autologous and allogeneic approaches for humanization of mouse models Reviews development of bone marrow-liver-thymus (BLT) immune humanized mice and emerging alternative models such as genetically engineered mouse models (GEMM) Discusses alternative animal models for cancer research such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) pigs

Animal Models for the Development of Cancer Immunotherapy is an essential resource for scientists and researchers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, medicinal chemists and biochemists, cell and molecular biologists, pharmacologists, immunologists, and clinicians.
