Blockade of CTLA-4 promotes the development of effector CD8(+) T lymphocytes and the therapeutic effect of vaccination with an attenuated protozoan expressing NY-ESO-1.

The development of cancer immunotherapy has long been a challenge. Here, we report that prophylactic vaccination with a highly attenuated Trypanosoma cruzi strain expressing NY-ESO-1 (CL-14-NY-ESO-1) induces both effector memory and effector CD8(+) T lymphocytes that efficiently prevent tumor develo...
