IL-7 is superior to IL-2 for ex vivo expansion of tumourspecific CD4 + T cells (2009)
Journal Article

It is well established that tumours hinder both natural and vaccine-induced tumourspecific CD4 + T-cell responses. Adoptive T-cell therapy has the potential to circumvent functional tolerance and enhance anti-tumour protective responses. While proto...
