Abstract: The invention relates in certain embodiments to a method for generating tolerogenic dendritic cells by employing temperatures below 37° C. and phenotype-modifying agents during the development of progenitor cells and immature dendritic cells. In some embodiments the invention relates to populations of dendritic cells and their use.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for inducing an immune response in a human or animal, comprising dendritic cells loaded with at least five cancer/testis antigen and no lineage specific differentiation antigens or substantially no lineage specific differentiation antigens provided from at least one cancer cell line, as well as to isolated cell lines expressing a multiplicity of cancer testis antigens and no differentiation antigens, and to a method of inducing an immune response in a human or animal using the composition of the invention.
