Cryopreservation of Monocytes Is Superior to Cryopreservation of Immature or Semi-mature Dendritic Cells for Dendritic Cell-based Immunotherapy

Cryopreservation of immature or mature dendritic cells (DC) has been proposed as a suitable method to gain large numbers of DC for immunotherapeutic trials against cancer. However, clinical studies using cryopreserved DC have demonstrated only limited success so far. The aim of this study was to inv
