- Preparation: The vaccine was made using melanoma cells that were virally transduced with a designer cytokine gene encoding fusion protein comprising interleukin 6 (IL-6) linked with the soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R), referred to as Hyper-IL-6 or H6 (Kwiatkowska-Borowczyk et al., 2018).
- Description: A cancer vaccine derived from two gentically modified human melanoma cell lines with potential antineoplastic activity. Allogeneic melanoma vaccine AGI-101H consists of a 1:1 mixture of cells from two genetically modified human melanoma cell lines, designated as Mich1H6 and Mich2H6, that have been gamma-irradiated to render the cells non-proliferative .(Kozłowska et al., 2013). Upon administration, this vaccine may stimulate a cytotoxic immune response against melanoma tumor cells (NCIT_C78861).
AGI-101H treatment activated the TNF-α and TGF-β signaling pathways and dampened IL2-STAT5 signaling in T cells, which finally resulted in the significant up-regulation of a BCL6 transcriptional repressor, a known amplifier of the proliferative capacity of central memory T cells and mediator of a progenitor fate in antigen-specific T cells. Since its initial clinical trial in 1997, the vaccine has resulted in the long-term survival of a substantial fraction of immunized patients (up to 20 years). (Czerwinska et al., 2020)
