In weakly and poorly immunogenic tumor models, we examined the effects of stimulating CD137 (4-1BB) in vivo by administering anti-CD137 monoclonal antibody after tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cell (TP-DC) vaccination. TP-DC subcutaneous vaccination induced a transient up-regulation of CD137 on T cells and natural killer (NK) cells within vaccine-primed lymph nodes (VPLNs). In established pulmonary and...
