  • Dendritic cell vaccines for asparaginyl-?-hydroxylase expressing tumors
    Patent number: 9687537
    Abstract: A vaccine containing AAH-loaded mature dendritic cells for treatment of AAH-expressing tumors in mammalian subjects. A method of producing primed dendritic cells is carried out by contacting isolated dendritic cells with an antigen such as AAH. Following the antigen-contacting step, the dendritic cells are contacted with a combination of cytokines such as GM-CSF and IFN-?.
    Type: Grant
