We found that CCL21 in combination with anti-CD25 mAbs (PC61) resulted in improved antitumor efficacy and prolonged survival, not only inhibited tumor angiogenesis and cell proliferation, but also led to significant increases in the frequency of CD4+, CD8+ T cells and CD11c+ DCs within the tumor, coincident with marked induction of tumor-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) at the local tumor site. The gene discussed is ITGAX; the disease is neoplasm.
