Methods and compositions for treating breast cancer with dendritic cell vaccines

摘要

Disclosed are compositions and methods for treatment of breast cancer. Disclosed methods and compositions include dendritic cells loaded with cyclin B1 and WT-1 peptide antigens for immunotherapy. These dendritic cell vaccines are administered alone or in combination with other cancer therapies to improve outcomes. Disclosed methods also involve the use of therapeutic agents, such as anakinra, that block the IL-1 inflammation pathway. These agents are used in combination with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy in treating breast cancer.
