Abstract

Immunotherapeutic anticancer agents eliminate cancer cells by acting on the immune system and activating the immune response against cancer cells. This class of drugs includes cytokines such as INFγ and IL2, nonspecific immune stimulants BCG and levamisole, and recently developed anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody ipilumumab.
