Abstract
Personalized immunotherapy is emerging as a promising approach for cancer treatment, aiming to harness the patient's own immune system to target and eliminate tumor cells. One key aspect of developing effective personalized immunotherapies is the utilization of tumor slices derived from individual patient tumors. Tumor slice models retain the complexity and heterogeneity of the original tumor microenvironment, including interactions with immune cells, stromal elements, and vasculature. These ex vivo models serve as valuable tools for studying tumor-immune interactions and for testing the efficacy of immunotherapeutic agents tailored to the specific characteristics of each patient's tumor. In this chapter, we set up a protocol for immunotherapy strategies in mouse models highlighting their translational potential to guide treatment decisions and improve therapeutic outcomes in cancer patients.
期刊介绍：
For over fifty years, Methods in Cell Biology has helped researchers answer the question "What method should I use to study this cell biology problem?" Edited by leaders in the field, each thematic volume provides proven, state-of-art techniques, along with relevant historical background and theory, to aid researchers in efficient design and effective implementation of experimental methodologies. Over its many years of publication, Methods in Cell Biology has built up a deep library of biological methods to study model developmental organisms, organelles and cell systems, as well as comprehensive coverage of microscopy and other analytical approaches.
