Abstract We have demonstrated that adherence and release of monocytes from a plastic surface drives their differentiation into immature dendritic cells DC that can mature further during overnight incubation in the presence of apoptotic malignant T cells. Based on these results we sought to develop a clinically practical rapid means for producing DC loaded with malignant cells. A leukapheresis harvest containing the clonal leukemic expansion of malignant CD4 T cells was obtained from the blood of patients with cutaneous T cell lymphoma CTCL . CTCL cells were purified with a CD3-magnetic bead column where CD3 engagement rendered the malignant T cells apoptotic. The monocyte fraction was simultaneously activated by column passage re-added to the apoptotic CTCL cells and co-cultured overnight.
