Tumor is one of the most serious problems threatening people's life in the 21 st century. Antitumor vaccine becomes a hot research spot of tumor therapy for low toxicity, specificity and durability. Efficient recognization and presentation of tumor antigen contribute to the foundation of an powerful anti-tumor immunologic response. Along with the deepen apprehension of the immunity mechanism and high development of the biochemical technology, a great number of new vaccines emerge and show us some favors. And DNA vaccine and DC vaccine attract most sights for their advantage in antigens expression and presentation.They become the strong weapon for tumor immunity therapy. This is a review about the mechanism, development and current problem of DNA vaccine and DC vaccine.
