BMC Immunology

Announcing the launch of In Review

BMC Immunology, in partnership with Research Square, is now offering In Review. Authors choosing this free optional service will be able to:

Share their work with fellow researchers to read, comment on, and cite even before publication
Showcase their work to funders and others with a citable DOI while it is still under review
Track their manuscript - including seeing when reviewers are invited, and when reports are received

Featured article: Fighting cancer with the immune system

Pixabay

Studies have shown the immune system has the potential to remove tumor cells in a patient’s body. This article describes a method for generating antitumor cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for the epitopes of the HER2/neu tumor-associated antigen. These CTLs are then shown to have a pronounced cytotoxic effect on tumor cells expressing the HER2/neu marker.
