    Abstract Introduction: Cytotoxic (CD8+) and natural killer (NK) cells play critical roles in anti-tumor immunity. Dysfunction in these cells is considered as one of the extrinsic mechanisms for tumor relapse.
    Aim: We aimed in this study to assess cytotoxic activities of CD8 + T and NK cells in the peripheral blood from lung cancer patients before and after induction of chemotherapy.
    Subjects and methods: Healthy (n = 5) volunteers and lung cancer patients (n = 15:5 before, 5 during, and 5 after induction of chemotherapy) were recruited. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the numbers of CD8 + T cells, NK and CD56
    Results: After culture, significant increases in the number of GzB expressing cells gated on CD3+, CD4+, CD8 + and NKCD8 + T cells in the PBMCs from lung cancer patients before induction of chemotherapy as compared to control individuals as well as patients during and after induction of chemotherapy. Serum levels of IL-1 and CXCL8 in patients before induction of chemotherapy showed 37- and 40-fold increases, respectively, as compared to control individuals. Both GzB expression and cytokines levels in patients during and after chemotherapy were similar.
    Conclusion: Polyclonal stimulation of PBMCs can restore the cytolytic activities of cytotoxic CD8 and NK cells from lung cancer patients even after chemotherapy.

    Abstract Cancer immunotherapy represents a potential treatment approach through non-specific and specific enhancement of the immune responses. Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is a potential modality of immunotherapy that depends on harvesting T cells from the tumor-bearing host, activating them in vitro and infusing them back to the same host. Several cytokines, in particular IL-2, IL-7 and IL-15, have been used to enhance survival T cells in vitro. Although effective, conditioning of T cells in vitro with these cytokines requires long-term culture which results in the loss of expression of their trafficking receptors mainly CD62L. It also results in exhaustion of the activated T cells and reduction in their functions upon adoptive transfer in vivo. Our recent studies and those of other groups showed that brief (3 days) conditioning of CD8

    Abstract Traditionally, expression of toll-like receptors (TLRs) has been associated with innate immune cells in particular professional antigen presenting cells and natural killer cells. This led to the concept that the adjuvant effects of ligation of TLR in a host occur mainly in innate immune cells. However, this concept has been challenged by recent studies including ours demonstrating that T cells express appreciated levels of different TLRs, which can serve as costimulatory co-receptors during polyclonal and antigen-specific stimulation of T cells. Because T cells express low levels of TLRs as compared to innate immune cells, increasing the expression levels of TLRs in T cells can significantly maximize their responses to the costimulatory effects of TLR ligation. This review article focuses on the potential role of TLR expression in T cells in their responses to vaccination regimen containing TLR agonists and how it can be modulated to optimize anti-tumor immunity.
