Abstract excerpt
Oncoretroviral vectors encoding either full-length Ag or a corresponding immunodominant peptide were expressed in Langerhans-type dendritic cells (LCs) differentiated from CD34(+) progenitors. We used human CMV as a model Ag restricted by HLA-A*0201 to define parameters for eventual expression of cancer Ags by LCs for active immunization against tumors. Stimulation by CMVpp65(495-503)-pulsed LCs,...
