This study demonstrates that stimulation of DC-CIK cells with PADI4 significantly suppressed tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice by promoting DC maturation, CIK cell proliferation, and cytotoxicity. PADI4 may be a potential tumor marker that could be used to improve the therapeutic efficiency of DC-CIK cells.
