Description	The aim of our study was to generate myeloma-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in vitro using dendritic cells loaded with peptide antigens or apoptotic bodies. We present a method for the priming and expansion of myeloma-specific T lymphocytes using dendritic cells loaded with different types of tumor antigens. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes and/or activated dendritic cells generated by the described methods can be applied for cellular immunotherapy against multiple myeloma and other malignancies.
