Dendritic cells (DCs) are believed to be the most potent antigen-presenting cells and may be important in the induction of anti-leukemia specific T cell responses. In this preliminary clinical study, a patient with chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) was vaccinated with autologous leukemic DCs following autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). In an in vitro study, leukemic DCs were generated using granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), tumor necrosis factor-α α α α, and interleukin-4 from granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized PBSC fraction of this patient, and were found to be Ph1
