Gene transfer of CD40-ligand induces autologous immune recognition of chronic lymphocytic leukemia B cells.
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
CD40-CD40-ligand (CD154) interactions play a critical role in immune activation. Using replication defective adenovirus encoding mouse CD154 (Ad-CD154), we modified human chronic lymphocytic leukemia B cells to express a functional ligand for CD40. This not only induces expression of immune accessory molecules on the infected cell, but also allows it to trans-activate noninfected bystander leukemia B cells. Also,...
