Genetic regulation of the response to Her-2 DNA vaccination in human Her-2 transgenic mice.
Genetic regulation of immune reactivity to Her-2 vaccination and the consequent antitumor effect was tested in human Her-2 transgenic (Tg) mice of C57BL/6 (B6), BALB/c (BALB), and (B6x BALB) F1 (F1) background. Mice were electrovaccinated with Her-2 DNA with or without pretreatment with CD25 monoclonal antibody to remove CD25(hi) regulatory T cells. When CD25(+) T cells were intact, BALB Her-2 ...
متن کاملHuman ErbB-2 (Her-2) transgenic mice: a model system for testing Her-2 based vaccines.
Her-2 transgenic (Tg) mice were generated with wild-type human c-ErbB-2 (Her-2) under the whey acidic protein promoter. They are tolerant to Her-2 and appropriate for testing Her-2 vaccines. The expression of transmembrane ErbB-2 from the whey acidic protein-Her-2 cassette and its up-regulation by insulin and hydrocortisone was verified by in vitro transfection. The transgene cassette was micro...
متن کاملHER-2/neu is a tumor rejection target in tolerized HER-2/neu transgenic mice.
HER-2/neu (neu-N) transgenic mice, which express the nontransforming rat proto-oncogene, develop spontaneous focal mammary adenocarcinomas beginning at 5-6 months of age. The development and histology of these tumors bears a striking resemblance to what is seen in patients with breast cancer. We have characterized the immunological responses to HER-2/neu (neu) in this animal model. neu-positive...
متن کاملPreclinical HER-2 Vaccines: From Rodent to Human HER-2
Effective prevention of human cancer with vaccines against viruses, such as HBV and HPV, raises the question whether also non-virus related tumors could be prevented with immunological means. Studies in HER-2-transgenic mice showed that powerful anti-HER-2 vaccines, could almost completely prevent the onset of mammary carcinoma. Protective immune responses were orchestrated by T cells and their...
متن کاملEmbryonic Lethality in Homozygous Human Her-2 Transgenic Mice Due to Disruption of the Pds5b Gene
The development of antigen-targeted therapeutics is dependent on the preferential expression of tumor-associated antigens (TAA) at targetable levels on the tumor. Tumor-associated antigens can be generated de novo or can arise from altered expression of normal basal proteins, such as the up-regulation of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2/ErbB2). To properly assess the development o...
