NCIt synonyms : CEA peptide-pulsed DC vaccine; peptide vaccine, dendritic cell-CEA; Dendritic Cell CEA Peptide Vaccine; Vaccine, dendritic cell-CEA peptide; Dendritic cell-carcinoembryonic antigen peptide vaccine; CEA peptide-pulsed dendritic cell vaccine;
NCIt definition : A cancer vaccine consisting of dendritic cells harvested from a patient with cancer
and pulsed or transduced with a peptide fragment of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA),
a tumor-associated antigen expressed by a wide range of cancers. When the altered
dendritic cells are returned to the patient, they may stimulate the host immune system
to mount a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte immune response against tumor cells expressing CEA.;
