Immunotherapy of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) at an early stage of the disease increases the likelihood of success. We report a new vaccination strategy designed to prepare SCC vaccines from microgram amounts of tumor tissue, enabling the treatment of patients with minimal residual disease. The vaccine was prepared by transfer of sheared genomic DNA-fragments (25 kb) from KLN205 cells, an SCC cell line of DBA/2 mouse origin, into syngeneic bone marrow-derived mature dendritic cells (DCs). More than 90% of the transfected DCs took up DNA from the neoplasm and transferred genes were expressed as protein. The DCs expressed CD11c, CD11b, and the costimulatory molecules CD40, CD80 and CD86, characteristic of mature DCs. Syngeneic DBA/2J mice, highly susceptible to the growth of KLN205 cells, were injected intravenously (i.v.) with the transfected DCs, followed by a subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of the tumor cells. The strong immunogenic properties of the transfected cells were indicated by the finding that the survival of the tumor-bearing mice was prolonged (P<.001), relative to that of mice in various control groups. Enzyme-linked immuno spot (ELISPOT IFN-gamma) assays revealed the activation of cell-mediated immunity directed toward the SCC in mice immunized with the transfected DCs. Two independent in vitro cytotoxicity assays indicated the presence of robust cell-mediated immunity directed toward the SCC in mice immunized with the transfected cells.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
