| Vaccine Information |
- Vaccine Name: Hodgkin's antigens-GM-CSF-expressing cell vaccine
- Target Pathogen: Cancer
- Target Disease: Cancer
- Vaccine Ontology ID: VO_0007673
- Type: whole cell cancer vaccine
- Status: Clinical trial

- Immunization Route: Other
- Description: This is an allogeneic vaccine consisting of Hodgkin lymphoma cells transfected with the granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene with potential antineoplastic activity. Hodgkin antigens-GM-CSF-expressing cell vaccine may stimulate a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) immune response against Hodgkin lymphoma-associated antigens, which may result in the lysis of tumor cells expressing these antigens. Also, transfected Hodgkin lymphoma cells secrete GM-CSF, which may potentiate the CTL response against Hodgkin lymphoma-associated antigens. (NCIT_C61592) Vaccines made from a tumor antigen may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. This vaccine contains cells expressing Hodgkin's antigens and GM-CSF, and could cause an immunological response in Hodgkin's lymphoma patients. (NCT00478062)
