The present invention relates to the treatment of cancer and to the prevention of cancer growth and/or metastasis. In particular, the invention relates to cellular and acellular vaccines containing C3d, a proteolytic product of complement (C3), and methods of enhancing a host immune response (e.g., a T cell mediated immune response) against cancers using same. Compositions and methods of the invention find use, alone or in conjunction with other cancer therapies, in treating lymphoma and/or cancers that develop and/or persist by evading host immune surveillance and/or responses (e.g., T-cell mediated immune responses). Compositions and methods of the invention find use in both clinical and research settings, for example, within the fields of biology, immunology, medicine, and oncology.
本发明涉及癌症的治疗以及癌症生长和/或转移的预防。特别是,本发明涉及含有补体(C3)蛋白水解产物 C3d 的细胞疫苗和无细胞疫苗,以及使用本发明增强宿主对癌症的免疫反应(如 T 细胞介导的免疫反应)的方法。本发明的组合物和方法可单独或与其他癌症疗法一起用于治疗通过逃避宿主免疫监视和/或反应(如T细胞介导的免疫反应)而发展和/或持续存在的淋巴瘤和/或癌症。本发明的组合物和方法可用于临床和研究领域,例如生物学、免疫学、医学和肿瘤学领域。
