Purpose: In preclinical studies, we have reported the ability to induce immune T cells in lymph nodes (LN) primed by in vivo vaccination with tumor cells admired with a bacterial adjuvant. These LN cells can be activated and expanded ex vivo for the successful immunotherapy of established tumors. We have applied these methods to generate vaccine-primed LN in patients with advanced melanoma and renal cell cancer (RCC) for therapy.Materials and Methods: Irradiated autologous tumor cells admixed with bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) were used to vaccinate patients. Seven days later, draining LN were removed for activation with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) followed by expansion in interleukin-2 (IL-2). Activated LN cells were administered intravenously (IV) with the concomitant administration of IL-2.Results: A total of 23 patients were evaluated (11 melanoma and 12 RCC). Vaccine-primed LN were expanded ex vivo with a mean of 8.4 x 10(10) cells administered per patient. Among 20 patients assessed, 15 demonstrated minimal cytotoxicity of autologous tumor cells by the activated LN cells, with the remaining mediating nonspecific cytotoxicity. By contrast, a majority of the activated LN cells showed highly specific release of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) to autologous but not allogeneic tumor stimulation. This tumor-specific cytokine release was found to be major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted, which indicates the involvement of CD8(+) cells. Among 11 melanoma patients, one had a partial tumor response. Among 12 RCC patients, two had complete and two partial responses. A trend (P = .066) between the enhancement of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactivity to autologous tumor after therapy and tumor regression was observed.Conclusion: Tumor vaccines can be used to induce immunologically specific T-cell responses against melanoma and RCC in draining LN. Anti-CD3/IL-2 activation of primed LN cells can be reliably performed for clinical therapy and appears to have activity in patients with metastatic RCC.
