Abstract
This disclosure is directed to methods of preparing dendritic cells or other CD40 bearing antigen-presenting cells and methods of treating cancer by using the dendritic cells or other antigen-presenting cells in combination with anti-chemorepellant agents. This disclosure is further directed to methods of preparing T cells and methods of treating cancer, by activated T cells optionally in combination with anti-chemorepellant agents. The antigen presenting cells of the disclosure are activated by incubation with cancer cells and fusion proteins. The T cells of the disclosures are activated by incubation with activated antigen-presenting cells that were activated by incubation with cancer cells and a fusion protein. In particular, the fusion protein comprises an antigen-binding domain, e.g., an antibody or antibody fragment, and a stress protein domain.
