20100316574 | Oncofetal Antigen/Immature Laminin Receptor Peptides for the Sensitization of Dendritic Cells for Cancer Therapy - The present invention relates to methods of making peptides or a mixture of peptides that can be used to pulse dendritic cells against the oncofetal antigen/immature laminin receptor protein (OFA/iLRP). More specifically, dendritic cells can be derived from a range of different sources that can direct the immune system to attack specific antigens. Once sensitized, either ex vivo, in vivo or in vitro, the dendritic cells will aid an individual's own immune system to protect against or treat all types of OFA/iLRP-related cancer. The peptides may also be used for detection, diagnosis and monitoring, and treatment of a OFA/iLRP-related cancer. | 12-16-2010 |
