The Carthamus tinctorius L., one of AVS073′s components, was reported to promote the expression of maturation markers (CD80, MHC class I and II) in mouse bone-marrow-derived DCs and maintained the high profile of maturation markers (CD80, CD86, MHC class I and II) in tumor antigen pulsed-DCs [31]. This evidence concerns the gene CD80 and neoplasm.
