Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the behavior of adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 in dendritic cell (DC) immunotherapy. Materials & methods: 88 female Balb/c mice were divided into experimental groups. Tumors and lymph nodes were evaluated 7 and 14 days after immunotherapy. Results: Higher mean fluorescence intensity of ICAM-1 in the lymph nodes and tumors in the tumor group at 14 days was observed. Higher mean fluorescence intensity of ICAM-2 in the tumor DC vaccine group was observed after 14 days. A positive correlation was observed in the lymph nodes with ICAM-1 against tumoral volume in the tumor group. A negative correlation was found between ICAM-2 and tumoral volume in the lymph nodes of the tumor group. Conclusion: An increase in ICAM-2 in tumor DC vaccine and a decrease in ICAM-1 suggests the DC vaccine positively influences the immune system and that ICAM-2 could be a marker of good prognosis.
期刊介绍:
Many aspects of the immune system and mechanisms of immunomodulatory therapies remain to be elucidated in order to exploit fully the emerging opportunities. Those involved in the research and clinical applications of immunotherapy are challenged by the huge and intricate volumes of knowledge arising from this fast-evolving field.
