Abstract excerpt
Induction of antitumor immunity involves the presence of both CD8(+) CTLs and CD4(+) Th cells specific for tumor-associated Ags. Attempts to eradicate cancer by adoptive T cell transfer have been limited due to the difficulty of generating T cells with defined Ag specificity. The current study focuses on the generation of CTL and Th cells against the tumor-associated Ag HER2 using autologous dendritic cells (DC)...
