Development of an In Vitro Assay to Assess Pharmacological Compounds and Reversion of Tumor-Derived Immunosuppression of Dendritic Cells.

abstract：:The central dogma of gene therapy relies on the application of novel therapeutic genes to treat or prevent diseases. The main types of vectors used for gene transfer are adenovirus, retrovirus, lentivirus, liposome, and adeno-associated virus vectors. Gene therapy has emerged as a promising alternative for the treatme...
