  • Patent number: 9566331
    Abstract: A composition for treating cancer, including synergistic amounts of a primary cell-derived biologic having the cytokines IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-?, and IFN-?, and a cancer vaccine having at least one antigen. A composition comprising synergistic amounts of the primary cell-derived biologic in combination with at least one adjuvant. A method of treating cancer by administering the composition. A method of reversing immune suppression and gaining immunity to cancer. A method of producing an immune response to an exogenous antigen. A method of enhancing an immune response in a patient by administering the primary cell-derived biologic in combination with at least one adjuvant, and enhancing the immune response of the patient by a synergistic interaction of the primary cell-derived biologic and the adjuvant. A method of increasing function of an immune system.

  • Patent number: 9492519
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods of immunotherapy to treat cancer or other antigen-producing diseases or lesions. According to one embodiment of the invention, a composition is provided for eliciting an immune response to at (east one antigen in a patient having an antigen-producing disease or lesion, the composition comprising an effective amount of a cytokine mixture, preferably comprising IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IFN ? (gamma) and TNF-? (alpha). The cytokine mixture acts as an adjuvant with the antigen associated with the antigen-producing disease or lesion to enhance the immune response of the patient to the antigen. Methods are therefore also provided for eliciting an immune response to at least one antigen in a patient having an antigen-producing disease or lesion utilizing the cytokine mixture of the invention. The compositions and methods are useful in the treatment of antigen-producing diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases or persistent lesions.
