Abstract:
Objective:To study the influence of the DCs from mononuclear cells in axillary draining lymph nodes of patients with breast cancer to the cytotoxicity of the antigenic specific CTLs stimulated by freeze-thrawing antigen from breast cancer cells in vitro.Methods:The mononuclear cells were isolated from axillary draining lymph nodes,and were cultured with cytokines to induce DCs and tumor draining lymph node cells(TDLNCs) respectively.DCs stimulated by the auto-breast cancer freeze-thrawing antigen(DCs-Ag).TDLNCs were co-cultured with DCs-Ag to derive tumor antigenic specific CTLs(DC-Ag-TDLNC).Then the cytotoxicty of specific CTLs to auto-breast cancer cells and MCF-7 cells was detected.Results:The cytotoxicity of DC-Ag-TDLNC,DC-TDLNC and TDLNC to the auto-breast cancer cells was 67.64%、31.25% and 26.36% respectively,P0.05.Conclusion:Typical DCs can be induced from the mononuclear cells from axillary draining lymph nodes after stimulated with cytokines(rhGM-CSF,rhIL-4 and TNF-?).The DCs possess stronger antigen presentation and can obviously increase the killing activity of tumor antigen specific CTLs to auto-breast cancer cells.
