  • Preparation: Squamous carcinoma cell lines are transfected with TGF-β2 antisense plasmid to produce a nonviral gene-based allogeneic tumor cell vaccine (Fakhrai et al., 2006; Nemunaitis et al., 2006; Nemunaitis et al., 2009).
  • Description: A vaccine consisting of lethally irradiated human fetal lung fibroblasts (Medical Research Council 5 or MRC-5) transfected with autologous tumor DNA derived from a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), with potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities. Upon intradermal administration, the autologous HNSCC DNA-transfected semi-allogeneic fibroblasts MRC-5 vaccine expresses HNSCC tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), which may activate the immune system to induce a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against HNSCC cells. The MRC-5 cell line, established in 1966, is a human diploid lung fibroblast cell line derived from the human lung tissue of a 14-week-old male fetus. (NCIT_C117725).

    This vaccine has been used in clinical trials involving Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). NCT02211027
