A Method for Manufacturing Potent Dendritic Cells
• Generation of a potent DC vaccine for treatment of cancer or infectious disease.• Generates DCs with greater potency than those produced by currently available methods.o Generation of potency is achieved through biological stimuli, circumventing the need for genetic vectors or prolonged cell selection.
Researchers at UCLA have developed a novel method for inducing dendritic cells (DCs) from monocytes. Compared to current methods, this innovation generates DCs with greater potency as antigen presenting cells for the activation of T cells. These potent DCs could be infused into cancer or infectious disease patients as part of a vaccine to enhance T cell activation.
