Stimulation of the suppressed innate antitumor immunity in glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma is the most common, malignant, primary brain tumor. One of the characteristics of this (and other) cancer(s) is suppression of the immune system. The aim of this research is to (re )activate the antitumoral functions of the innate immune cells in glioblastoma. This will be achieved by combining direct stimulation of the innate immune cells with alleviation of the protumoral and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.
