Optimizing Dendritic Cell Preparation for Fusion with Melanoma Cells
Background: Fusion of dendritic cells (DCs) with melanoma cells could reinforce the antigenicity of tumors as a strategy for the treatment of malignant melanoma. However, the insufficient quantity of DCs and the low fusion efficiency limits the development of such approach. Objective: To define the dosage of the stimulating factors as well as the induction condition for the optimal DCs prepara...
متن کاملBlastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm; A Report of Three Cases
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare hematodermic myeloid malignancy that is known to be derived from plasmacytoid dendritic cells which are characterized by expression of CD4, CD56, and more specific markers such as CD123. Here, the authors present three cases of BPDCN diagnosed in the past two years and address different available diagnostic modalities such as morpho...
متن کاملMesenchymal stem cells as a reference cell for HLA-typing
Introduction: Recognition of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) is of importance for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Any HLA-mismatches between the donor and recipient can cause graft rejection or other complications. In HLA-typing experiments, usage of HLA-known reference cells accompany with HLA-unknown samples is obligatory. Some international centers represent these cells with high e...
متن کاملClassical dendritic cells as a unique immune cell lineage
Despite the critical role of classical dendritic cells (cDCs) in the initiation of adaptive immune responses, the genetic and phenotypic definition of cDCs remains moot. Two new studies designate Zbtb46 as a novel transcription factor that is specifically expressed in all cDCs in both humans and mice. Although Zbtb46 appears dispensable for cDC development, its specific pattern of expression su...
متن کاملUptake of Autologous and Allogenic Tumor Cell Antigens by Dendritic Cells
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen presenting cells (APCs), and there is considerable interest in their application as a cellular adjuvant for cancer immunotherapy. Previous studies indirectly demonstrated that DCs were able to take up tumor lysate (crude soluble tumor antigens) and also cross-present tumor associated antigens (TAA) which elicits anti-tumor immune respo...
