Popis: One of the major factors for successful DCs immunotherapy is thought to be the maintenance of the migratory activity of matured DCs. We evaluated the effectiveness of PSK on OK432-activated DCs, in terms of maturation, migration and induction of CTLs. When DCs were treated with both OK432 and PSK, migration ability of the DCs were significantly high as compared to OK432 alone preserving the beneficial effect of OK432 treatment. BRM cocktail treatment with OK432 and PSK induced high level of migration activity in activated DCs, suggesting a potential protocol for more effective DCs immunotherapy for cancer.
