Host Response

Mouse Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
  • Efficacy: C57BL/6 mice were immunized on days 0, 7, and 17 with the different MAGE-1 plasmids. After 6 days, the mice were challenged with B16 melanoma cells that express the human MAGE-1 antigen. Mice immunized with plasmids co-expressing MAGE-1 and GM-CSF had significantly fewer tumor colonies on their lungs than mice from any of the other immunization groups. In fact, 60% of the mice immunized with DNA vaccines that co-express MAGE-1 and GM-CSF had fewer than five tumor colonies on their lungs, whereas this was true of a little less than 20% of the mice immunized with MAGE-1 alone vaccines or co-inoculation with MAGE-1 vaccines and GM-CSF expressing plasmid (Sun et al., 2002).
