Abstract excerpt
Although thyroglobulin (Tg) would be expected to act as a tumor-associated antigen that might be exploitable by immunotherapy against thyroid cancers, it remains unclear how to effectively enhance the immune response to Tg in human since it is a self-component glycoprotein. We therefore tested whether and how human peripheral blood (PB) monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with human (h)Tg would induce...
