We have previously generated modified dendritic cells in mice with the ability to suppress immune responses once they have started. This project will develop the dendritic cell vaccine as a platform technology for human clinical use. We aim to demonstrate, in a phase I clinical trial, the capacity of modified human autologous dendritic cells to suppress the immune response to a model antigen in a group of healthy volunteers and a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis taking drugs for their disease
