Abstract:
Immunotherapy of tumor is extensively attentioned as an important part of combined therapy of tumor in recent years. Dendritic cell (DC) is the most powerful antigen presenting cell (APC) by now which not only activates auto-immunity to attack tumor cells, but also does help to enhance antitumor effect for allogenic bodies. To explore the feasibility and safety of clinical therapy application of peripheral blood derived DC cultured ex vivo, and analyze the influence of DC-inducing-immunotherapy upon long-term survival of ANLL patients accepted autologous bone marrow transplantation, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) of 13 ANLL patients after autologous bone marrow transplantation were collected by using CS3000Plus. DC immunotherapy was administered after cultivation of PBMNC ex vivo for 2 weeks, desease-free survival time was observed after therapy for long time follow-up. The results showed that no any severe adverse event associated with DC therapy was observed, the survival analysis of Kaplan-Meier suggested that five year survival rate was 75.52% in DC group while 45.71% in non-DC group. DC group surpassed non-DC group in accumulative survival rate. It is concluded that the ex vivo cultivation and clinical therapy application of DC derived from peripheral blood are feasible and safe, DC immunotherapy in patients with acute non-lymphocytic leukemia after autologous bone marrow transplantation prolongs desease-free survival time and enhances long-term survival rate.
