We developed a therapeutic, gene-modified, allogeneic melanoma vaccine (AGI-101H), which, upon genetic modification, acquired melanoma stem cell-like phenotype. 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). Here, we investigated the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the long-lasting effect of...
