NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with immunogenic tumor-associated
antigens (TAAs) derived from cultured autologous glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumor
cells, with potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration,
the autologous TAA-loaded DCs AV-GBM-1 expose the immune system to the GBM neoantigens,
which results in a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated immune response against the
autologous GBM cells leading to GBM cell lysis.;
