The immune system uses a process known as 'immunosurveillance' to help prevent the outgrowth of tumors. In cancer immunotherapy, a major goal is for immunity against tumor-associated antigens to be generated or strengthened in patients. To achieve this goal, several approaches have been tested, including the use of highly potent antigen-presenting cells called dendritic cells (DCs), which can activate T cells efficiently. Presentation of peptides derived from tumor antigens on the surface of DCs can stimulate strong antitumor immunity. Using recombinant viral vectors encoding tumor-associated antigens, DCs can be engineered efficiently to express sustained levels of tumor-antigen peptides. This review discusses the effectiveness of virally transduced DCs in treating tumors and generating antigen-specific T-cell responses. It covers mouse and nonhuman primate studies, preclinical in vitro human cell experiments and clinical trials.
