The “Immunology and Immunotherapy” Section publishes reviews and original peer-reviewed papers of a high scientific level covering all aspects of immunology and oncoimmunology. Papers aim to uncover modulations in the immune system, active and passive immunotherapies, diagnostic tests based on specific markers, and new technologies to identify novel predictive factors to respond to immunotherapy. Topics include but are not limited to in vivo/in vitro immune response research; targeted therapies (including antibody research and vaccine research); virotherapy and oncolytic vaccines; use of nanoparticles and microvesicles for developing immunotherapeutics; etc.
