Gene Ther. 2003 Oct;10(22):1891-902.

Furthermore, in vivo depletion analysis demonstrated that CD8 (+) CTLs and NK cells were the predominant effector cells responsible for the anti-B16BL6 immunity induced by vaccination with AdRGD-gp100/mBM-DCs, and that helper function of CD4 (+) T cells was necessary for sufficiently eliciting effector activity.
These findings clearly revealed that highly efficient MAA gene transduction to DCs by AdRGD could greatly improve the efficacy of DC-based immunotherapy against melanoma.
