  • an “adjuvant” is a substance that increases or otherwise alters an immune response when mixed with an administered immunogen.

  • An adjuvant is a substance that enhances the immunogenicity of the hapten epitope, and in a more preferred embodiment, a modulating or potent non-toxic adjuvant is used.

  • Adjuvants are classified depending on the case, for example, as mineral, bacterial, plant, synthetic or host products.
  • the first class is mineral adjuvants, such as aluminum compounds.
  • the first use of aluminum compounds as adjuvants was described in 1926. Since that time, antigens precipitated with the anoreminium compound or mixed with or adsorbed to preformed aluminum compounds have been used to enhance the immune response in animals and humans.
  • Aluminum compounds and similar adjuvants seem to work through the following mechanism. Aluminum physically binds to the antigen to form particles and forms a reservoir for the antigen in the tissue after injection. It slows the secretion of the antigen and thus prolongs the time of interaction between the antigen and the cells that represent the antigen, for example, macrophages or follicular dendritic cells. In addition, immunocompetent cells are attached to the injection area and activated.
  • Aluminum particles are demonstrated 7 days after immunization in the regional lymph nodes of the egret, and other significant functions may be able to direct antigens to the T cell-containing regions of the nodes themselves.
  • Adjuvant efficacy was shown to correlate with draining lymph node information. Numerous studies have confirmed that antigen administered with aluminum leads to increased immunity in body fluids, but cell-mediated immunity appears to increase only slightly, as measured by delayed-type hypersensitivity . Aluminum has also been described as activating the complement pathway. This mechanism may play a role in the local inflammatory response as well as in immunoglobulin polysaccharide and bile duct memory.
  • Aluminum compounds are almost the only safe adjuvants currently used in humans. However, vaccines containing aluminum sometimes cause local reactions. Although the development of allergies is usually not a clinical problem, aluminum compounds also attract eosinophils to the injection area via a T-cell dependent mechanism and, when injected, trigger an IgE response after antigen priming. It is said to induce a population of carrier-specific cells with helper function in response to the IgE response. In addition, vaccines containing aluminum cannot be freeze-dried, thus requiring refrigerated transport and storage, creating a risk of contamination. Moreover, aluminum compounds provoke sustained protection from disease When you always succeed, you don't have to.

  • the effect of fusion cells was observed, and the combination of fusion cells and CpG was most effective It was a target.
  • mice Ten days after the second vaccination, 50/11 of C57BL / 6 mice (8 mice / group) 5 ⁇ 10 5 B16BL6 cells suspended in 83 were injected subcutaneously (sc) into the right hind paw to initiate primary tumor growth.
  • the present invention is effective in disease models other than cancer.
  • the cells are killed by 0 / radiation.
  • the killed cells and dendritic cells are fused with HVJ and immunity is activated using CpG.
  • the procedure follows Example 1 in principle. In this way, a vaccine that is effective against viral or bacterial infection can be made.
  • the effect of the fused cells thus prepared is confirmed by the procedure described in Examples 2-5. It is understood that bacteria and viruses can be used to make cellular vaccines as well.
  • macrophages as other antigen-presenting cells, confirm whether they have the same vaccine effect. Since macrophages are known to be fused with HVJ, fused cells are prepared using macrophages instead of ⁇ cells according to the procedure described in Example 1. The effect of the fusion cells thus produced is confirmed by the procedure described in Examples 2-5. It is understood that macrophages can be used for cell vaccine production as well.
  • Dendritic cells and melanoma cells were fused (prepared as described in Example 1) using polyethylene glycol as described in Patent Document 1. However, the fusion efficiency was less than 5%. No therapeutic effect was observed.
  • the present invention has the utility of treating or preventing a disease associated with an antigen without specifying the antigen.
  • the present invention provides vaccines and related utilities that can be used for such treatment or prevention.

Abstract

L'objectif est de prévoir un procédé, un médicament (en particulier un vaccine), un système etc. pour traiter ou prévenir facilement une maladie, un trouble ou condition souhaitée (en particulier un cancer). Un vaccin préventif efficace pour maladie (par exemple le cancer) obtenu en utilisant une technique de fusion de cellule avec l'utilisation d'un vaccin tel qu'un HVJ inactif et/ou un adjuvant, où les métastases et la récurrence de cancer peuvent être particulièrement inhibées. Notamment, une cellule fondue et/ou un adjuvant, où les métastases et la récurrence de cancer peuvent être particulièrement inhibées. Notamment une cellule fondu préparé á partir d'une cellule présentant un antigène avec au moins une cellule appliquant l'immunoréactivité et une technique s'y rapportant.
