What is In Vitro Propagated Dendritic Cells from Prostate Cancer Patients as a Component of Prostate Cancer Immunotherapy about?
## Abstract T cell‐mediated cancer immunotherapy requires efficient antigen‐presenting cells. Dendritic cells (DCs) are arguably the most efficient antigen‐presenting cells studied to date. Individuals with prostate cancer often undergo various therapies which may compromise their immune system, including the state of their DC precursors. We report the in vitro propagation of DCs from peripheral blood of patients with prostate cancer, most of whom are in clinical stages D~1~ or D~2~ and have undergone radiation therapy. After 7 days in culture, the number of DCs recovered were 20‐50‐fold higher than those isolated directly from peripheral blood. This number is comparable to findings of previous studies with healthy individuals. Cultured patients' DCs were capable of presenting tetanus toxoid to autologous T cells in vitro. Furthermore, T cells from 2 of 4 patients proliferated when cultured with their DCs and the lysate of a human prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP), demonstrating the potential role of autologous DCs in prostate cancer immunotherapy studies. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
