    Abstract:
    We investigated the effects of dendritic cell (DC) pulsed with acute leukemia cell frozen-thawed antigen on inducing the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) to get specific anti-tumor activity in vitro. DC was generated from healthy human bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMC) in the presence of granulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF), interleukin-4 (IL-4) in vitro. DC pulsed with acute leukemia cell frozen-thawed antigen was co-cultured to induce T cell into specific CTL. Then we observed the effects of CTL induced by DC pulsed with acute leukemia cell frozen-thawed antigen killing acute leukemia cell specially and the influence of dendritic cell affecting the function and CD expression on CTL. The levels of CD1a, CD86, HLA-DR expression on DC pulsed with acute leukemia cell frozen-thawed antigen were obviously higher than those before culture (P<0.01). There were more CD3+CD8+ T cells in the CTL induced by DC pulsed with acute leukemia cell frozen-thawed antigen, compared with those in the T cell uncultured group (P<0.01). The CTL induced by DC pulsed with acute leukemia cell frozen-thawed antigen significantly had higher activity in killing acute leukemia cell than in killing k562 cell (P<0.01), and the CTL induced by DC pulsed with acute leukemia cell frozen-thawed antigen was also more effective for killing acute leukemia cell as compared with the CTL induced by DC simply, T cell co-cultured with IL-2 and T cell simply (P<0.01). The DC generated from human bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMC) in the presence of granulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-4 (IL-4) was CD14- CD1a+CD83+DC, and it could also induce the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) to get specific anti-tumor activity in vitro. Otherwise,the increasing of CD3+CD8+ T cells in the CTL induced by DC pulsed with acute leukemia cell frozen-thawed antigen implied the main role of the CD3+CD8+ T cells in the anti-tumor immunity.
