| Research Abstract |
TrimAb is the antibody cocktail therapy combining tumor apoptosis-inducing therapy with immune-activating therapy. We have here found that trimAb synergistically eradicated tumors when combined with several kinds of anti-tumor molecular targeting reagents that were already applied to clinical treatment. Suppression of immune inhibitory responses due to phagocytosis of apoptotic tumor cells is possibly useful to augment immune therapies against cancers. Moreover, based on the results of combination with several therapies targeting immune inhibition, we revealed that improvement of immune environment in tumor mass is the most critical to augment specific anti-tumor immune responses inducing tumor rejection.
