چکیده

Five different colon tumor-associated antigens (CTAA) were tested for their ability to induce an immune response in vivo and in vitro in ten colon carcinoma patients immunized with an irradiated autologous tumor cell/Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine (active specific immunization) after resection of the primary tumor. The CTAA were defined by two different human monoclonal antibodies (MCA 1688 and MCA 28A32) derived by immortalization of peripheral blood B-lymphocytes from an active specific immunization patient. Delayed-type cutaneous hypersensitivity responses against a mixture of CTAA 28A32-50K and -32K were positive in seven of ten patients tested. In vitro T-cell responses upon stimulation with CTAA 28A32-32K were found to be positive in seven of ten patients and correlated with delayed-type cutaneous hypersensitivity responses to the antigen mixture. These data suggest that CTAA 28A32-32K might contain an important tumor-related T-cell epitope. Moreover, this method is suitable to define potential future candidates for antitumor vaccine development.

Expression of class II major histocompatibility complex molecules correlates with human colon tumor vaccine efficacy.

Vaccination of colon cancer patients with X-irradiated autologous tumor cells and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin results in a significant reduction in tumor recurrence. A study was undertaken to determine whether the expression of tumor-associated antigens, expression of major histocompatibility complex molecules, or the cellular composition of the vaccine cells correlates with vaccine efficacy. A si...

Newcastle disease virus-infected intact autologous tumor cell vaccine for adjuvant active specific immunotherapy of resected colorectal carcinoma.

An active specific immunization (ASI) procedure with two types of autologous tumor cell vaccines (ATVs) is tested for adjuvant immunotherapy of resected colorectal carcinoma to provide preliminary information on local immunological skin responses, side effects, and 2-year survival rates. For vaccine preparation, the tumor-derived freshly isolated and cryopreserved cells were thawed, purified by...

Cross-reactivity between Bacillus Calmette-Guérin and Rous Virus-induced sarcoma detected in rats by tube leukocyte adherence inhibition assay.

Specific immunity to Rous virus-induced sarcoma (RSL) was investigated by the tube leukocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) assay in rats immunized with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Peritoneal cells from Lewis rats immunized s.c. with BCG gave positive reactions in the tube LAI assay with the antigen prepared from RSL in Lewis rats. Lymph node cells from Lewis rats immunized with BCG had no cyto...
