Abstract

See full text

A lymphoma cell line was engineered to express surface IgG1 Fc. These tumor cells were taken up rapidly by DCs, leading to enhanced cross-presentation of tumor-derived antigen to CD8 T cells. IgG1-Fc tumors failed to grow in vivo and prophylactic vaccination in an animal model resulted in rejection of unmanipulated tumor cells. Furthermore, IgG1-Fc tumor cells were able to slow the growth of an unmanipulated primary tumor when used as a therapeutic tumor vaccine. This demonstrates that engagement of Fc receptors by tumors expressing the Fc region of IgG1 can induce efficient and protective anti-tumor CD8+ T cell responses without prior knowledge of tumor-specific antigen.
