Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Mucin (MUC) 1 is an epithelial cell glycoprotein that is aberrantly overexpressed in many adenocarcinomas, including pancreatic cancer (PC), providing an ideal tumor-associated antigen and target for immunotherapy. In this study, we investigated whether the cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) induced by dendritic cells (DCs) transfected with amplified MUC1 mRNA could respond against PC in vitro....
