Disclosed are methods and compositions for use in immunotherapy. These methods and compositions are particularly useful for exploiting dendritic cells to present an antigen to a patient, particularly where the patient has a disease associated with the antigen. The invention provides methods for treating a patient having a disease associated with an antigen. The methods according to the invention comprise combining ex vivo an antigen and an antigen-presenting cell binding agent specific for the antigen, and administering the composition to a patient suffering from a disease associated with the antigen, wherein the patient receives a therapeutic benefit. |
