NCIt definition : A cell-based cancer vaccine composed of autologous dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with
tumor-specific antigen(s) (TSAs), with potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic
activities. Upon administration of the autologous TSA-loaded DCs, the DCs stimulate
a specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated immune response against the tumor
cells expressing the TSA(s), resulting in tumor cell lysis.;
