A method for analyzing the prevention and treatment efficacy of a
dendritic cell-derived immunotherapeutic for prostate cancer using an
animal model carrying tumors expressing a human prostate cancer-specific
antigen includes either administering to a normal non-human animal
dendritic cells to be analyzed, or administering to a normal non-human
animal a cancer cell line expressing the human prostate cancer-specific
antigen to induce cancer in the normal non-human animal; administering to
the animal the cancer cell line expressing the human prostate
cancer-specific antigen to induce cancer in the animal when the dendritic
cell administering step was performed, or administering to the animal
with cancer dendritic cells to be analyzed when the human prostate
cancer-specific antigen expressing cell line administering step was
performed; and determining the prevention and treatment efficacy of the
dendritic cells as immunotherapeutics for prostate cancer by measuring
the formation or growth of cancer cells originated from the cancer cell
line in the animal.
