Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) can acquire antigen(s) from apoptotic tumor cells, resulting in an immunogen that can induce class I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and protective tumor rejection. Here, we investigated whether DCs derived from ascitic monocytes of patients with ovarian carcinoma could kill autologous ovarian tumor cells and if as a result they would acquire antigen(s) enabling them to induce a...
