In vivo immunization against autologous glioblastoma-associated antigens

Cancer Immunol Immunother. 1985;19(1):43-5. doi: 10.1007/BF00199310.

Abstract

A glioblastoma patient was immunized in vivo with a mixture of autologous and homologous glioblastoma cells coupled to adjuvant peptide and cord-factor analog. Immune activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes was measured in a short-term 51chromium-release assay against autologous tumor target cells. The patient developed direct cell-mediated cytotoxicity against tumor-associated antigens, which appeared to be T-cell mediated.
