ABSTRACT:
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.
