Immunosurveillance and Survivin-Specific T-Cell Immunity in Children With High-Risk Neuroblastoma

Abstract

Children with HR-NBL harbor robust cellular immune responses to the universal tumor antigen survivin at the time of diagnosis, but intratumoral T cells are strikingly rare, suggesting a failure of cellular immunosurveillance. Efforts to develop novel therapies that increase T-cell trafficking into tumor nests are warranted.
