Mice immunised with oxidised mannan conjugated to the human mucin 1 (MUC1), produce MHC Class 1 restricted CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells which eradicate MUC1 + tumours, indicating potential for the immunotherapy of MUC1 + cancers in humans. We now describe preclinical studies performed in cynomolgus monkeys immunised with human or murine MUC1 conjugated to oxidised mannan, where immune responses and toxicity were examined. High titred antibodies specific for MUC1 were produced, MUC1 specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell proliferative responses and specific cytotoxic precursor cells (CTLp) were found, but not MUC1 specific cytotoxic T-cells (CTL). There was no toxicity and monkeys can be immunised against human MUC1 with mannan-MUC1 conjugates, but a humoral response (Th2 type) predominates. The results contrast with those obtained in mice when a CTL response (Th1 type) predominates.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.
