| Research Abstract |
To make a contribution to clinical field, we examined the efficacy of immunotherapy for mouse brain tumor model with adoptive transfer and intratumoral delivery of dendritic cells in this study. First, mice with brain tumor received intratumoral injection of dendritic cells, and then received tumor antigen specific CD8 T cells intravenously. As a result, this combination of the treatment enhanced the homing of adoptive transferred T cells to the brain tumor site, and prolonged the survival time of the treated mice. The reason of this effective treatment was that intratumoral delivered dendritic cells made antigen presentation and induced chemokine production from tumor cells.
