RENAL CARCINOMA CELL LINE AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a renal carcinoma cell line capable of activating the immune system in an antigen-specific manner. According to a further aspect, the invention also includes derivatives of the cell line that maintain said activation capacity. The invention also comprises a method for targeting and activating immune system cells against cells of clear cell renal carcinoma. Said method comprises the co-incubation of isolated immune system cells (dendritic cells, CD4*, CD8* lymphocytes etc.) with cells of the RCC BA85#21 line in accordance with the invention in a suitable culture medium, for a time sufficient to obtain antigen specific cells.
