dendritic cell-idiotype-keyhole limpet hemocyanin vaccine
A cell-based vaccine composed of allogeneic dendritic cells (DC), pulsed with patient-specific non-Hodgkin's lymphoma idiotype (Id) determinants conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), with potential antitumor activity. Upon administration, this vaccine may stimulate the host immune system to mount a specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against Id-expressing lymphoma cells, resulting in tumor cell lysis. Check for active clinical trials or closed clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)

Abbreviation:DC-Id-KLH vaccine



Previous:demineralized bone matrix, DEMSER, Dendrid, dendritic cell-autologous lung tumor vaccine, dendritic cell-CEA peptide vaccine
