autologous TARP peptide-pulsed dendritic cell vaccine

A cell-based cancer vaccine comprised of autologous dendritic cells pulsed with autologous T cell receptor gamma-chain alternate reading frame protein (TARP) peptide with potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities. Upon intradermal administration, autologous TARP peptide-pulsed dendritic cell vaccine may stimulate anti-tumoral cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) and antibody responses against TARP-expressing cancer cells, resulting in tumor cell lysis. The highly immunogenic nuclear protein TARP is commonly expressed in breast and prostate cancer cells. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)
