Abstract excerpt
Genetic immunization with a single injection of dendritic cells (DCs) expressing a model melanoma antigen generates antigen-specific, MHC-restricted, protective immune responses. After initiating the immune response, additional vaccinations may increase the protection or conversely downregulate the immune response. Groups of mice were vaccinated several times with DCs transduced with the MART-1 gene, and the...
