Although resting B cells are known for being poorly immunogenic and for inducing T-cell tolerance, we have here attempted to test whether their immunogenicity could be enhanced by CD1d-restricted invariant T cells (iNKT) to a point where they could be used in cellular vaccines. We found that the addition of the iNKT ligand alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha GalCer) to peptide-loaded B cells overcame peptide-specific T-cell unresponsiveness and allowed for the generation of peptide-specific memory CTL immunity. This CTL was induced independently of CD4 T and natural killer cells but required iNKT and CD8 T cells. B cells directly primed CTL, and the alpha GalCer and the peptide must be presented on the same cell. Importantly, our B-cell-based vaccine is comparable in efficiency with dendritic cell-based vaccines, inducing similar CTL responses as well as providing an effective regimen for preventing and suppressing s.c. and metastatic tumors. Therefore, with the help of iNKT, peptide-pulsed B cells can establish long-lasting antitumor immunity and so show promise as the basis for an alternative cell-based vaccine.
