Method for Generating Memory T-cells In Vitro and Their Use in Immunotherapy
Invention Summary:
Dendritic cell-based immunotherapies have been tested for the treatment of cancer patients with limited success. The limited success is probably due to the ineffective activation of specific T-cells by injected dendritic cells. In vitro generation of memory T-cells that can respond to cancer cells could circumvent ineffective T-cell...
