CD40-CD40-ligand (CD154) interactions play a critical role in immune activation, Using replication defective adenovirus encoding mouse CD154 (Ad-CD154), we modified human chronic lymphocytic leukemia B cells to express a functional ligand for CD40. This not only induces expression of immune accessory molecules on the infected cell, but also allows it to trans-activate noninfected bystander leukemia B cells, Also, factors that impair the antigen-presenting capacity of leukemia B cells are downmodulated. Ad-CD154-infected leukemia cells are highly effective stimulators in mixed lymphocyte reactions and can induce generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes specific for autologous nonmodified leukemia cells, As such, Ad-CD154 can induce a host antileukemia response that may have therapeutic potential.
