Identification of tumor-specific target antigens has been a major hurdle for the treatment of malignant disease by vaccination or immunotherapy. A second challenge has been the induction of therapeutically effective immune responses to these 'self' antigens. The recent recognition of dendritic cells as powerful antigen-presenting cells capable of inducing primary T-cell responses in vitro and in vivo--in combination with identification of tumor-specific antigens--has generated widespread interest in dendritic cell-based immunotherapy against a wide variety of tumors. In this review, a series of recently identified novel ovarian tumor antigens is discussed, and the potential for therapeutic dendritic cell vaccination targeted against these antigens is assessed.
