AboutAbout the lab
Taking on cancer with the power of immunity
The Immune and Hematopoietic Regulation Lab (Oji Lab) conducts research under the themes of "taking on cancer with the power of immunity" and "why does cancer develop?"
With WT1 vaccine therapy as its main theme, the lab develops tests to examine immune function and methods to efficiently induce and maintain antitumor immune responses.
The lab aims to clarify the function of the Wilms' tumor gene WT1 as an oncogene and, based on this, to develop new molecularly targeted cancer therapies.
Key terms
- WT1
- A Wilms' tumor gene involved in the development of various cancers. This lab targets it for immunotherapy
- IgG antibody
- A type of antibody. In diagnosing infectious diseases, it is used to diagnose past infection and to assess resistance to infection
- ELISPOT assay
- A method for analyzing antigen-specific cellular immune responses. It reads the spots of cytokines released from cells
