Immunology, the study of the immune system and its ability to distinguish self from non-self, is a rapidly advancing sector of molecular biology. Cancer, being host derived, provides a difficult challenge for immune cells to distinguish it from normal tissue. The historic treatment of cancer has had three main methods: radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery (1). Due to recent advancements in understanding the regulatory role of adaptive immunity against cancer, researchers have been attempting to engineer therapies to enhance patients’ immunities against their cancer. Immunotherapies, both passive and active, demonstrate potential for combating many diseases. Passive immunization provides temporary protection against a pathogen, whereas active immunization teaches the patient’s system to respond to the antigen independently, giving life-long immunity. Passive immunization, generally, is a much more expensive method of providing immunity and is commonly used in emergency situations. Anti-venom, for example, uses antibodies grown in lab to neutralize venom. Examples of active immunization are vaccines, which mimic the wild-type pathogen in a way that elicits an immune response, specifically naïve lymphocyte activation and maturation into memory lymphocytes. In terms of cancer therapy, both passive and active immunization are being tested for efficacy (2).
