Dendritic cells pulsed with alpha-galactosylceramide induce anti-tumor immunity against pancreatic cancer in vivo.
Ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the Western world. Unfortunately, recent advances in diagnostics, staging and therapy have not resulted in significant improvements. Thus, new approaches are necessary to improve the outcome of patients with exocrine pancreatic cancer. We tested triggering of specific T lymphocytes in vivo by using the immunocompete...
متن کاملTumor-Altered Dendritic Cell Function: Implications for Anti-Tumor Immunity
Dendritic cells (DC) are key regulators of both innate and adaptive immunity, and the array of immunoregulatory functions exhibited by these cells is dictated by their differentiation, maturation, and activation status. Although a major role for these cells in the induction of immunity to pathogens has long been appreciated, data accumulated over the last several years has demonstrated that DC ...
متن کاملMurine dendritic cells pulsed with an anti-idiotype antibody induce antigen-specific protective antitumor immunity.
In this study, using the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-expressing C15 murine colon carcinoma system in syngeneic C57BL/6 mice, we have evaluated the efficacy of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with the murine anti-idiotype antibody 3H1 as a tumor vaccine. Anti-idiotype 3H1 mimics a distinct and specific epitope of CEA and can generate anti-CEA immunity in mice, rabbits, monkey...
متن کاملIntranodal immunization with tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cells enhances protective antitumor immunity.
We developed a technique for direct inguinal lymph node injection in mice to compare various routes of immunization with tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cell (DC) vaccines. Syngeneic, bone marrow-derived, tumor lysate-pulsed DCs administered intranodally generated more potent protective antitumor immunity than s.c. or i.v. DC immunizations. Intranodal immunization with ovalbumin peptide-pulsed DC...
متن کاملInduction of cellular immunity in a parathyroid carcinoma treated with tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cells.
BACKGROUND Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-mediated tumor immunity against major histocompatibility antigen class II-negative tumors requires help from CD4(+) T-cells. The major antigen presenting cells for CD4(+) cell activation are dendritic cells. Studies in mice and humans have demonstrated the potent capacity of these cells to induce specific antitumor immunity. OBJECTIVE To control the growth of...
