Introduction to Dendritic Cell Therapy for Psoriasis

Dendritic Cell Therapy is an immunotherapy treatment that’s used to activate the immune system to improve the symptoms of diseases like psoriasis. Dendritic Cell Therapy is FDA-approved under the trade name Provenge for the treatment of prostate cancer. Side effects from this treatment occur in about 10% of patients.

What are Dendritic Cells?

Dendritic cells are immune-system messengers that help the body identify and raise and alarm against foreign, invading pathogens. The dendritic cells begin by alerting the lymphocytes and then other cells when a pathogen is present. They’re found in the inner lining of the nose, the skin, stomach, intestines, lungs, and bone marrow and they have the power to sensitize T-cells to invaders. Dendritic cells have been used successfully to treat psoriasis.

Dendritic Cell Therapy for Psoriasis

Dendritic cell therapy is administered via injections. First, the patient’s blood is drawn so that the patient’s own white blood cells can be extracted. Then, a vaccine is custom-made for the patient over the course of about 8 days. The white blood cells are grown and cultured before being administered.
