CCR Translations Immunostimulation Versus Immunosuppression after Multiple Vaccinations: the Woes of Therapeutic Vaccine Development
نویسنده
چکیده
Three articles in this issue of Clinical Cancer Research show how multiple vaccinations can lead to immunosuppression. Moreover, two studies in patients show that granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as an adjuvant immunostimulant to different kind of vaccines can lead to adverse outcome in terms of relapse-free and overall survival. Modulation of regulatory T-cell activity may be required to overcome this outcome and may be crucial for the successful development of therapeutic vaccines. (Clin Cancer Res 2009;15(22):6745–7)

متن کاملCCR Translations Enhancing Cancer Vaccine Efficacy via Modulation of the Tumor Microenvironment
The development of therapeutic cancer vaccines is impacted by immunosuppressive elements in the tumor microenvironment. Most immunogenic cancer proteins are “self,” therefore, peripheral tolerance contributes substantially to tumor immune escape. Transforminggrowth factorβ (TGFβ) activelymodulatesboth inflammationand tolerance induction. Combining vaccination with agents that disarm TGFβ will e...
متن کاملPartial CD4 depletion reduces regulatory T cells induced by multiple vaccinations and restores therapeutic efficacy.
PURPOSE A single vaccination of intact or reconstituted-lymphopenic mice (RLM) with a granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor-secreting B16BL6-D5 melanoma cell line induces protective antitumor immunity and T cells that mediate the regression of established melanoma in adoptive immunotherapy studies. We wanted to study if multiple vaccinations during immune reconstitution of the lympho...
متن کاملTreg Cell Resistance to Apoptosis in DNA Vaccination for Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Treatment
BACKGROUND Regulatory T (Treg) cells can be induced with DNA vaccinations and protect mice from the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS). Tacrolimus (FK506) has been shown to have functions on inducing immunosuppression and augmenting apoptosis of pathologic T cells in autoimmune disease. Here we examined the therapeutic effect...
متن کاملVaccination with dendritic cell/tumor fusions following autologous stem cell transplant induces immunologic and clinical responses in multiple myeloma patients.
PURPOSE A multiple myeloma vaccine has been developed whereby patient-derived tumor cells are fused with autologous dendritic cells, creating a hybridoma that stimulates a broad antitumor response. We report on the results of a phase II trial in which patients underwent vaccination following autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) to target minimal residual disease. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Tw...
