The murine melanoma B16 expresses the murine counterpart of the human MART-1/Melan-A (MART-1) antigen, sharing a 68.6% amino acid sequence identity. In this study, mice were vaccinated with bone marrow–derived murine dendritic cells genetically modified with a replication-incompetent adenoviral vector to express the human MART-1 gene (AdVMART1). This treatment generated a protective response to a lethal tumor challenge of unmodified murine B16 melanoma cells. The response was mediated by major histocompatibility complex class I–restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes specific for MART-1 antigen, which produced high levels of interferon-γ when reexposed to MART-1 in vitro and lysed targets in a calcium-dependent mechanism suggestive of perforin/granzyme B lysis. MART-1 was presented by the dendritic cells used for vaccination and not by epitopes cross-presented by host antigen-presenting cells. In conclusion, dendritic cells genetically modified to express the human MART-1 antigen generate potent murine MART-1–specific protective responses to B16 melanoma.
