These approaches include 1) immunostimulation: including peptide/protein based vaccines, dendritic cell vaccines, and adoptive cell transfer; and 2) overcoming immunosuppression, including targeting of checkpoint molecules such as CTLA-4, circumventing the activity of Tregs, and assuring antigen expression by tumor cells (thwarting antigen silencing).

PURPOSE: We have reported that CTLA4-Fc, a fusion protein that binds B7, prevents the induction of EAAU and reduces the severity of disease in Lewis rats.
