    摘要: The present invention is a recombinant vector encoding and expressing at least three or more costimulatory molecules. The recombinant vector may additionally contain a gene encoding one or more target antigens or immunological epitope thereof. The synergistic effect of these costimulatory molecules on the enhanced activation of T cells is demonstrated. The degree of T-cell activation using recombinant vectors containing genes encoding three costimulatory molecules was far greater than the sum of recombinant vector constructs containing one costimulatory molecule and greater than the use of two costimulatory molecules. Results employing the triple costimulatory vectors were most dramatic under conditions of either low levels of first signal or low stimulator to T-cell ratios. This phenomenon was observed with both isolated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. The recombinant vectors of the present invention are useful as immunogenes and vaccines against cancer and pathogenic micro-organisms, and in providing host cells, including dendritic cells and splenocytes with enhanced antigen-presenting functions.

    摘要: We have discovered that by using a recombinant DNA viral vector, preferably a pox virus vector having at least one insertion site containing a DNA segment encoding the carcinoma self-associated antigen, or a cytotoxic T-cell eliciting epitope thereof, operably linked to a promoter capable of expression in the host, human cytotoxic T-cells specific for the carcinoma self-associated antigens can be produced. The method preferably comprises introducing a sufficient amount of the recombinant pox virus vector into a host to stimulate production of cytotoxic T-cells, and contacting the host with additional antigen at periodic intervals thereafter. The additional antigen may be added by using a second pox virus vector from a different pox genus. In another embodiment, additional antigen is added by contacting the host with antigen. The antigen may be formulated with an adjuvant or in a liposomal formulation. The T-cells can be isolated. The number of T-cells can be expanded by contacting the isolated cytotoxic T-cells alternately with the carcinoma self-associated antigen or an epitope thereof and IL-2. The isolated T-cells can be used in a method for treating a host having a tumor expressing a carcinoma self-associated antigen comprising introducing cytotoxic T-cells specific for the antigen to the host and at at least one periodic interval thereafter introducing to the host a T-cell eliciting epitope of the carcinoma self-associated antigen.
