Summary

Live cells engineered to express antigen and other stimulatory molecules can be used effectively to stimulate ex vivo expansion of T lymphocytes for adoptive therapies. Acellular constructs having stimulatory molecules displayed on the surfaces of inert particles are also being used for this purpose, but in addition have the potential for in vivo use as vaccines to stimulate immune responses. Tumor vaccine immunotherapy trials using one such construct termed large multivalent immunogen (LMI) have demonstrated the safety of this application.
