The study of histocompatibility in man and in other vertebrates led to the understanding of the mechanisms of immune recognition and to the discovery of novel molecules and cells involved in these processes, including class I and class II proteins...
Our laboratory investigates the role of the immune system in modulating the early stages of cancer development in order to harness its anti-tumor properties to combat cancer. To date, several cancer immunotherapeutic drugs have been developed with proven...
The Cantor lab studies the development and function of T-cell subsets. Early studies indicated that the thymus gave rise to two major lineages of T cells that recognized the MHC class II and class I molecules and were equipped to mediate distinct...
