## Abstract ## Background The aim of the present study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of dendritic cell (DC)–tumor fusion hybrids with Toll‐like receptor (TLR) agonists. ## Methods DC–tumor fusion hybrids were generated by electrofusion and injected into the inguinal lymph nodes of C57
## Alpha -galactosylceramide, a glycosphingolipid, mediates interaction of dendritic cells (DCs) and NKT cells, leading to activation of both innate and acquired immunity. For cancer treatment, conventional DC-based vaccine has been tried, but its clinical efficacy is limited against liver cancer.
