Combining Human and Rat Sequences in Her-2 DNA Vaccines Blunts Immune Tolerance and Drives Antitumor Immunity
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Immune tolerance to tumor-associated self-antigens poses a major challenge in the ability to mount an effective cancer vaccine response. To overcome immune tolerance to HER-2, we formulated DNA vaccines that express both human HER-2 and heterologous rat Neu sequences in separate plasmids or as single hybrid constructs that encode HER-2/Neu fusion proteins. Candidate vaccines were tested in Her-2 transgenic (Tg)...
