摘要

In recent years, the characterization of gene-based cancer vaccines has been an important step in the development of different treatment options for human carcinoma. These particular vaccines make use of proteins that are specifically produced at very high levels by tumor cells. These tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) are not only used in diagnostic situations, but also in the development of cancer vaccines. In this review we will focus on two well characterized TAAs, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and prostate specific antigen (PSA). The two methods of in vivo delivery we will examine are recombinant vaccinia virus and nucleic acid immunization. The TAA gene can be cloned into vaccinia virus and the viral infection stimulates an adequate immune response in the host. In the case of nucleic acid immunization, DNA constructs encoding for TAAs are directly injected into the host and are taken up by its cells. The cells express the specific encoded antigen upon which the immune system acts.The effects of CEA recombinant vaccinia virus (rV-CEA) have been characterized in rodents, macaques, and humans. It was shown that the vaccine induced both humoral and cellular immune responses in mice and monkey models. In a phase I clinical trial, a CEA-specific cytotoxic T- lymphocyte response was observed. The effects of a CEA DNA vaccine were investigated in both mice and dogs and both humoral and cellular immune responses were found as well. A recombinant vaccinia virus expressing PSA was tested in rhesus monkeys and induced a PSA-specific long term cellular immune response. Experiments were also performed injecting a PSA DNA construct into both mice and rhesus monkeys. PSA-specific humoral and cellular immune responses were observed in both cases. All these experimental approaches demonstrate the efficacy and advantages of gene- based cancer vaccine strategies and support further clinical investigations.
