Abstract
Despite its potency, the wider use of immunotherapy for B cell malignancies is hampered by the lack of well-defined tumor-specific Ags. In this study, we demonstrate that an evolutionarily conserved 37-kDa immature laminin receptor protein (OFA-iLRP), a nonimmunogenic embryonic Ag expressed by a variety of tumors, is rendered immunogenic if targeted to the APCs using the CCR6 ligands MIP3α/CCL20 and mDF2β. The CCR6 targeting facilitated efficient Ag cross-presentation and induction of tumor-neutralizing CTLs. Although the Ag targeting alone, without activation of dendritic cells (DCs), is proposed to induce tolerance, and MIP3α does not directly activate DCs, the MIP3α-based vaccine efficiently induced protective and therapeutic antitumor responses. The responses were as strong as those elicited by the OFA-iLRP fusions with moieties that activated DCs and Th1-type cytokine responses, mDF2β, or mycobacterial Hsp70 Ag. Although the same cDNA encodes the dimerized high-affinity mature 67-kDa mLRP that is expressed in normal tissues to stabilize the binding of laminin to cell surface integrins, the vaccines expressing OFA-iLRP elicited long-term protective CD8+ T cell-mediated memory responses against syngeneic B cell lymphoma, indicating the potential application of these simple vaccines as preventive and therapeutic formulations for human use.
