Cytotoxic T lymphocytes activated by dendritic cell hybrids

摘要

Methods of generating CTL using fused cells formed by fusions between dendritic cells and non-dendritic cells (e.g., cancer cells), CTL generated by these methods, methods of treatment involving administering the CTL to mammalian subjects, methods of identifying peptides recognized by the CTL, and methods of inducing immune response in mammalian subjects involving administration of the identified peptides, or polypeptide antigens of which the peptides are fragments, to the mammals.
