Preferred Label : Autologous Dendritic Cell-Tumor Fusion Vaccine;
NCIt definition : A therapeutic cancer vaccine consisting of autologous dendritic cells (DCs) fused
with autologous tumor cells with potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities.
Autologous dendritic cell-tumor fusion vaccine is generated in vitro by mixing DCs
and irradiated tumor cells harvested from individual patients and treating them with
polyethylene glycol (PEG) to produce DC-tumor cell fusion hybrid cells. Upon administration,
autologous dendritic cell-tumor fusion vaccine may elicit antitumor humoral and cellular
immune responses.;
