Immuno-Cell Therapy

Immuno-Cell Therapy is a theoretically proved option of immunotherapy that anti-cancer immune resistance of the patient is augmented. This therapy entails only minimal adverse effects, since patient's own materials (cells and blood plasma for culture) are used exclusively and is basically free from hazards such as undesirable immune reactions and infections caused by viral contaminations.
Immuno-Cell Therapy is classified into two types: (1)autologous activated lymphocyte therapy (formerly called adoptive immunotherapy) and (2)dendritiuc cell vaccine therapy, in which dendritic cells (a type of cells in the immune system, specialized in antigen-specific stimulation of lymphocytes) are utilized.
