Active Cellular Immunotherapy with Sipuleucel-T Recombinant PAP antigen combines with resting Antigen Presenting Cell (APC) APC takes up the antigen Antigen is processed and presented on surface of the APC Fully activated, the APC is now sipuleucel-t INFUSE PATIENT Active T- cell Inactive T-cell T-cells proliferate and attack cancer cells Sipuleucel-T activates T-cells in the body The precise mechanism of sipuleucel-t in prostate cancer has not been established.
Sipuleucel-T Immunotherapy for Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Kantoff PW et al. N Engl J Med 2010;363:411-422. The vaccine costs $93,000, which works out at $23,000 per month of survival advantage.
