The invention discloses an engineered
dendritic cell as well as a construction method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
immunology and
medicine. The engineered
dendritic cell is a DC
cell induced and modified by adopting an
engineering means, and an exogenous mRNA sequence is introduced into the DC
cell, so that the engineered
dendritic cell can efficiently express recombinant IL-18, IL-15Ralpha and TAA. Meanwhile, an exogenous
cell factor IL-15 is added into a DC
cell culture system after electrotransfection, so that the
survival rate and the maturity degree of the cultured engineered DC cells are improved. The IL-15R alpha expressed by the engineered DC and exogenous IL-15 form a membrane anchoring IL-15 / IL-15R alpha compound, the membrane anchoring IL-15 / IL-15R alpha compound and secreted IL-18 play a synergistic effect,
T cell activation and proliferation are effectively promoted, meanwhile, generation of cell factors IFN-gamma and release of cytotoxic molecule
granzyme B and
perforin are expanded, the specific
cytotoxicity of T cells to tumors is improved, and the T cells can be used for treating tumor tumors. And the anti-tumor immune effect is sustained and enhanced.
