Immunotherapy of cancer is divided into two overlapping categories: active and passive. The goal of active immunotherapy is the stimulation of host antitumor immunity, either cellular or humoral. This can be accomplished in a direct or specific fashion by using tumor vaccines to generate an immune response to tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). Nonspecific antitumor immunity can be propagated by compounds such as bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). Passive immunotherapy relies on the administration of biologically active agents with innate antitumor properties, such as antibodies reactive with growth factor receptors. In most instances, host immunity is an important cofactor in active immunotherapy. In addition, some agents, such as antibodies, can exert anti-immune circuits that are set into motion by these therapies and account for the imperfect but nonetheless useful division into active and passive types.Immunotherapy is very effective in certain animal model systems, and it has been used to treat human cancers for several decades [1]. The active immunotherapy of cancer patients with tumor-derived material has been studied by numerous investigators, with positive clinical responses reported. A number of problems exist with using tumor material for immunization, and T AAs are often found to be poorly immunogenic. A common explanation for the absence of antitumor immunity is that the immune system has been tolerized by the tumor antigen. If this is true, steps could be taken to break the existing antitumor tolerance. An effective method of breaking tolerance is to present the critical epitope in a different molecular environment to the tolerized host [2]. While this can be done easily with haptens and other small, well-defined antigens, it is impossible with most tumor antigens because they are chemically ill defined and difficult to purify-especially carbohydrate antigens, vaccines for which cannot be produced by recombinant techniques. The immune network hypothesis offers a unique approach to transform epitope structures into idiotypic Id determinants expressed on the surface of antibodies. Immunoglobulin (Ig) molecules possess variable regions specific for antigen recognition. The variable region is encoded by Vh, D, and JH genes
