Background aims Dendritic cells are regarded as the most effective antigen presenting cells
and coordinators of the immune response and therefore suitable as vaccine basis. Here we
present results from a clinical study in which patients with malignant melanoma (MM) with
verified progressive disease received vaccination with autologous monocyte-derived mature
dendritic cells (DC) pulsed with p53, survivin and telomerase-derived peptides (HLA-A2+
patients) or with autologous/allogeneic tumor lysate (HLA-A2− patients) in combination with …
