Abstract:
On September 30 to October 3, 2018, in New York City, the Fourth International Cancer Immunotherapy Conference (CICON) was hosted jointly by the Cancer Research Institute (CRI), the Association for Cancer Immunotherapy (CIMT), the European Academy of Tumor Immunology, and the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). For the fourth straight year, more than 1,400 people attended the 4-day event, which covered the latest advances in cancer immunology and immunotherapy. This year's meeting also coincided with the announcement that the 2018 Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology would be awarded to one of CICON's attendees, James P. Allison.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Initiation of Translation
First, the initiator tRNA must be selected from the pool of elongator tRNAs by eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). The initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAi) has conserved sequence elements including modified bases at...
