Tumor-derived exosomes play a role in helping tumor cells with escape from immune surveillance, and it may also activate tumor-specific immune responses to eradicate tumor cells. Tumor cells release exosomes with major histocompatibility complex molecules and antigenic peptides on the surface membranes, which can induce dendritic cells (DC) and cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells in vitro to produce the tumor antigen-specific T cells, and the obtained DC-CIK cells have a dual antitumor function with specificity and non specificity. This provides a new method for the treatment of cancers. This review briefly summarized the latest progress of adoptive immunotherapy with exosomes and DC-CIK.
