Abstract

We have previously shown that a novel hydrophobized polysaccharide/oncoprotein complex vaccine can induce immune responses against the HER2/neu/c-erbB2 (HER2) expressing tumors. Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs), as antigen presenting cells (APCs), are the first candidates for presentation of tumor antigens. The aim of this study was to see whether DCs are able to elicit antigen specific host immune responses by stimulating the proliferation of T cells after exposure to cholesteryl group bearing pullulan (CHP) and HER2 protein complex. Vaccination by CHP-HER2 complex was as effective as cholesteryl group bearing mannan (CHM) and HER2 complex on which we reported previously. Immunization of mice with HER2 expressing CMS17HE tumor cells generated both CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells reactive with CHP-HER2 complex pretreated DCs. In addition, immunization with either CHP-HER2 complex or HER2 protein alone could also generate both CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells specifically reactive with CHP-HER2 complex pretreated DCs. The complete rejection of tumors occurred when immunization with CHP-HER2 complex pretreated DCs was started 10 days after tumor inoculation. Therefore, bone marrow-derived DCs pretreated with hydrophobized polysaccharide/oncoprotein complex are a powerful tool for enhancing the effectiveness of oncoprotein for anti-tumor vaccination, opening new options for immune cell therapy.
