2003 MAY 14 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Advancements in dendritic cell vaccine technology for the treatment of cancer are expected.

According to a study from Germany and the United States, "A novel approach to vaccination against cancer is to exploit dendritic cells (DCs) as 'nature's adjuvants' and actively immunize cancer patients with a sample of their own DCs primed with tumor antigens. DC vaccination is, however, still at an early stage, slowed in part by the need to carry out research in humans. Nevertheless, valuable proofs of concept have been obtained with respect to the capacity of DCs to expand cancer-directed immune responses."

"The methods for preparing DCs are being improved continuously, and there are many opportunities to improve efficacy at the level of DC biology," said Gerold Schuler and colleagues at the University Hospital of Erlangen in Germany and Rockefeller University in ...
