    Abstract:

    Objective: To investigate the anti-myeloma cells specific immune activity induced by myeloma protein-pusled dendritic cells(DCs). Methods: DCs were obtained from peripheral blood(PB) of multiple myeloma(MM) patients after co-culture with GM-CSF,IL-4 and TNF-α. The phenotype of DCs was examined by flow cytometry. Host lymphocytes were stimulated with DCs pulsed with myeloma protein acquired from serum of MM patients on DEAE-celluose; lymphocytes treated with unpulsed-DC served as control. [^3 H]-thymidine incorporation and 4 h ^51 Cr-release assay were used to detect the proliferation and cytotoxicity against different targets(auto-myeloma cells,U266 cells) by T lymphocytes. Results: In vitro proliferation and cytotoxicity of T lymphocytes activated by myeloma protein pulsed-DCs were greater than those of T lymphocytes in the control group(P〈0.01). T lymphocytes in neither of the 2 groups had notable cytotoxicity against U266 cells. Conclusion: DCs pulsed by myeloma protein can effectively induce specific cytotoxicity of T lymphocytes against myeloma cells
