2003 NOV 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Single injection of CD34+ progenitor-derived dendritic cell vaccine can lead to induction of T-cell immunity in patients with stage IV melanoma.

According to a study from the United States, "There is evidence that dendritic cell (DC) vaccines induce tumor-specific immune responses that correlate with clinical responses. Little is known, however, about the kinetics of T-cell responses to antigens presented on DC vaccines. The authors vaccinated 18 HLA A*0201(+) patients with stage IV melanoma with CD34 HPC-derived DCs pulsed with six antigens: influenza matrix peptide (Flu-MP), KLH, and peptides derived from the four melanoma antigens: MART-1/Melan A, gp100, tyrosinase, and MAGE-3."

"A single DC vaccination was sufficient for induction of KLH-specific CD4 T-cell responses in five patients and Flu-MP-specific CD8 T-cell responses in eight patients," reported A. Karolina Palucka and collaborators at the Baylor Institute for Immunology Research, Rockefeller University, and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. A single DC vaccine was sufficient for ...
