Immunotherapy

Late 1800's in NY - hospital - Dr. Cooler

• Would inject streptococcus bacteria straight into the tumor
• He didn't document everything well according to colleagues
• After his death, his daughter discovered boxes of reports about every patient - she published them
• 12%-15% of patients survived

Early 20th Century - scientists tried that with viruses

Gary explained research with viruses in vitro

Immunotherapy - using antibodies or using white blood cells

Basics of Immunotherapy

• Antibody is y-shaped (can also bind to proteins - compliment proteins) 
• FC-Fragment binds to lymphocytes

Kristin Campbell's therapy for MS in Israel

Why don't we do that in cancer therapy

Gary explains that we are changing out dietary approach in research today
