J Drugs Dermatol. 2010 Nov;9(11):1364-6.

Abstract

This section of the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology (JDD) is dedicated to Dendreon's Provenge (Sipuleucel-T), the first therapeutic DC vaccine proven effective and approved by the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for advanced cancer. This editorial will discuss three articles in this issue, their relationship to Provenge and the recent TH17-Treg subsets that are regulated by CD46.
