Effects of co-culture of dendritic cells loaded with MAGE-A3 antigen and cytokine-induced killer cells on tumor stem cells and malignant progression of endometrial cancer / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

AIM: To explore the effects of dendritic cells (DC) and cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) carrying melanoma-associated antigen gene A3 (MAGE-A3) on endometrial cancer tumor stem cells and malignant progression. METHODS: Human peripheral blood was collected to separate mono-nuclear cells, and DC and CIK cells were induced by cytokines, respectively. DCs were incubated with MAGE-A3 and then co-cultured with CIK, and the phenotypes of DC-CIK and MAGE-A3-DC-CIK were detected by flow cytometry; The CD133
