Résumé

Current cancer immunotherapies predominantly rely on CD8(+) T cells to fight against tumors. However accumulative evidence showed that proinflammatory CD4(+) helper T cells are critical determinants of effective antitumor immunity. The utilization of universal tumor-reactive helper peptides from telomerase represents a powerful approach to the fully use of CD4(+) T cell-based immunotherapy.
