Abstract
Many acute leukemia patients treated with chemotherapy are at high risk of relapse without allogeneic stem cell transplantation, an immunotherapy that is limited by significant toxicity and donor availability. We propose that post-remission vaccination with a simple autologous whole cell vaccine adjuvanted with α-galactosylceramide may be effective to prevent relapse of acute leukemia.Entities:
