Tumor Immunology
The department is investigating how the immune system can be used in the
treatment of tumors. To this end molecular and cell biological research
is being carried out on receptors at the surface of so-called dendritic
cells (DC). These are cells with long fimbriae which make tumor cells
eminently 'recognisable' to the immune system. Clinical research in which
cancer patients are vaccinated with these dendritic cells is also being
conducted. The department works in close collaboration with the Haematology
and Medical Oncology departments.
