Disclosed are methods and compositions for use in immunotherapy. These methods and compositions are particularly useful for exploiting dendritic cells to present an antigen to a patient, particularly where the patient has a disease associated with the antigen. The invention provides methods for treating a patient having a disease associated with an antigen. The methods according to the invention comprise combining ex vivo an antigen and an antigen-presenting cell binding agent specific for the antigen, and administering the composition to a patient suffering from a disease associated with the antigen, wherein the patient receives a therapeutic benefit.
A method for treating a patient suffering from a disease associated with an antigen, comprising administering to the patient a composition comprising an antigen associated with the disease, a dendritic cell binding agent specific for the antigen, and a dendritic cell autologous to the patient, wherein the patient administered the composition receives a therapeutic benefit.
A therapeutic composition comprising a purified dendritic cell binding agent that is specific for an antigen associated with a disease, a dendritic cell, and the antigen associated with the disease
