  • Adjuvant:
  • Preparation: The parent cell lines T47D (HER2low) and SKBR3 (HER2high) were genetically modified by plasmid DNA transfection to secrete GM-CSF. Clinical lots were prepared from two subcloned cell lines secreting bioactive levels of GM-CSF, 2T47D-V and 3SKBR3-7. On D0, serum-free, cryopreserved, irradiated vaccine cells were thawed and mixed to create a HER2+ vaccine that secreted GM-CSF levels of about 300 ng/106 cells /24 hours (Chen et al., 2014).
  • Description: An allogenic vaccine consisting of irradiated breast cancer cells transfected with the granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene. Upon vaccination, the genetically modified cells secrete GM-CSF, thereby potentiating a tumor-specific T cell response against breast cancer cell-asociated antigens.A vaccine that is being studied as a way to help the body's immune system kill breast cancer cells. To make the vaccine, the GM-CSF gene is put into breast cancer cells in the laboratory. The cells are then treated with radiation to stop them from growing and injected into the same or a different patient. The GM-CSF protein made by the changed breast cancer cells may help the immune system kill breast cancer cells in the body. (NCIT_C48371).
