Description: In dendritic cell therapy blood cells are removed from the body. The blood mononuclear cells are incubated with a tumour antigen or tumour cell lysates that contain many tumour antigens. The cells are also activated by use of immuno-stimulatory molecules. This process produces mature antigen-loaded dendritic cells that are returned to the original donor. The dendritic cells induce immune response to the tumour.
