High levels of ALDEFLUOR/ALDH activity has been successfully used as a marker to isolate CSC-enriched populations [2, 3, 32-43], including our groups [2, 3, 32]. We characterized CSC enriched populations from a murine squamous cell carcinoma model, SCC7, in the syngeneic immunocompetent hosts using ALDEFLUOR/ALDH as a marker [3]. SCC7 cells contain approximately 10% ALDHhigh malignancy initiating cells, which are tumorigenic, and their stemness was confirm by their capacity for self-renewal both and [3]. We used ALDHhigh SCC7 CSCs and made a lysate to pulse MMV390048 DC (CSC-DC) which was used as a vaccine. DCs pulsed with…
