New Cell Dendritic Cell (DC) Therapy
Medical Supporter — Information Notice
This article is a summary of international medical information and is not medical advice; it cannot replace the diagnosis or treatment plan of your attending physician. The medical technologies, drug information and clinical data presented here are compiled from public literature and official statements of major Japanese medical institutions; the applicability and outcome of any therapy vary with each patient and must be assessed individually by a qualified physician.
Dendritic Cells (DC) are the most powerful "intelligence officers" of the immune system, responsible for identifying enemy characteristics and issuing attack orders. Traditional DC therapies often use synthetic peptide fragments, but RISO CLINIC’s New Cell Dendritic Cell Therapy (NEW CELL DC) goes a step further by using the patient’s own tumor tissue as the primary information source.
Core Technologies of NEW CELL DC
- Autologous Cell Fusion Culture: Active tumor cells obtained from the patient are physically fused with autologous dendritic cells in vitro. The resulting "New Cells" carry both the complete antigen information of the cancer and the command capabilities of the DC.
- Genomic Information Priming: If active tumor tissue is unavailable, DNA & RNA messages from tumor biopsies can be analyzed and paired with the patient's epidermal tissue to create specific antigens for the DC to "learn."
Specimen Requirements
To ensure vaccine precision, patients must provide one of the following:
- Tissue specimen slides from a hospital (approx. 10 slides).
- Tumor tissue removed during surgery or biopsy (must be cryopreserved).
- Ascites or pleural effusion containing cancer cells.
Due to rigorous cultivation and quality control, there is an initial waiting period of 4 to 6 weeks for the first vaccine production.
