Vaccine Detail

electroloading of mature dendritic cells with melanoma whole tumor cell lysate
Vaccine Information
  • Vaccine Name: electroloading of mature dendritic cells with melanoma whole tumor cell lysate
  • Target Pathogen: Cancer
  • Target Disease: Cancer
  • Vaccine Ontology ID: VO_0007602
  • Type: Dendritic Cell vaccine
  • Status: Research
  • Immunization Route: Intramuscular injection (i.m.)
  • Description: A simple, widely used approach to generating multivalent cancer vaccines is to load tumor whole cell lysates into dendritic cells (DCs). Current DC vaccine manufacturing processes require co-incubation of tumor lysate antigens with immature DCs and their subsequent maturation (Wolfraim et al., 2013).
Host Response

Human Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0003057
  • Immune Response: Electroloaded mature DCs were more potent in vitro, as judged by their ability to elicit significantly (p < 0.05) greater expansion of peptide antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells, than either lysate-electroloaded immature DCs or lysate-co-incubated immature DCs, both of which must be subsequently matured. Expanded CD8(+) T cells were functional as judged by their ability to produce IFN-γ upon antigen-specific re-stimulation (Wolfraim et al., 2013).
