Measure
HER-2 Pulsed Dendritic Cell Vaccine
6 weekly HER-2 pulsed dendritic cell vaccines followed by 3 booster vaccines once every 3 months. Each dose will consist of between 1.0-2.0 x 10\^7 cells and will be injected into 1-2 different normal groin lymph nodes or axillary nodes. HER-2 pulsed Dendritic Cell Vaccine: 6 weekly HER-2 pulsed dendritic cell vaccines followed by 3 booster vaccines once every 3 months. Each dose will consist of between 1.0-2.0 x 10\^7 cells and will be injected into 1-2 different normal groin lymph nodes or axillary nodes.
