Measure
DCs Co-cultured With Melanoma Cells
DCs co-cultured with melanoma cells Vaccination: Subjects will receive as an outpatient 4 weekly ultrasound-guided intra/peri-lymph nodal administrations of the autologous tumor dendritic cell vaccine. The dose of the autologous tumor cell dendritic cells/vaccine will be 1-5 X 106. Leukapheresis: All selected subjects will undergo leukapheresis. Two and a half times the subject's blood volume will be processed per procedure. A single 4 hour leukapheresis will be done.
DCs Pulsed With Tumor Cell Lysates
DCs pulsed with tumor cell lysates Vaccination: Subjects will receive as an outpatient 4 weekly ultrasound-guided intra/peri-lymph nodal administrations of the autologous tumor dendritic cell vaccine. The dose of the autologous tumor cell dendritic cells/vaccine will be 1-5 X 106. Leukapheresis: All selected subjects will undergo leukapheresis. Two and a half times the subject's blood volume will be processed per procedure. A single 4 hour leukapheresis will be done.
DCs Fused With Tumor Cells
DCs fused with tumor cells Vaccination: Subjects will receive as an outpatient 4 weekly ultrasound-guided intra/peri-lymph nodal administrations of the autologous tumor dendritic cell vaccine. The dose of the autologous tumor cell dendritic cells/vaccine will be 1-5 X 106. Leukapheresis: All selected subjects will undergo leukapheresis. Two and a half times the subject's blood volume will be processed per procedure. A single 4 hour leukapheresis will be done.
