## Abstract Radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer is followed by PSA recurrence in up to 40% of patients. One third of patients with biochemical relapse progress to uncurable metastatic disease. Therefore, alternative treatment modalities are needed both in the situation of PSA recurrence and i
## Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) are pivotal regulators of immune reactivity and immune tolerance. The observation that DCs can recruit naive T cells has invigorated cancer immunology and led to the proposal of DCs as the basis for vaccines designed for the treatment of cancer. Designing effective
## Abstract ## Background Dendritic cells (DC) are the professional antigenβpresenting cells of the immune system, fully equipped to prime naive T cells and thus essential components for cancer immunotherapy. ## Methods We tested the influence of several elements (cPPT, trip, WPRE, SIN) on the t
Our expanding knowledge of the immune system has provided a basis of rationality for immunotherapy . Some non-specific immunotherapy has achieved the status of standard treatment: interferon in hairy cell leukemia and chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCG in bladder cancer, and levamisole in colon cance
