  • Compositions and methods for cancer prophylaxis and/or treatment
    Patent number: 6491925
    Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods to generate a protective or therapeutic immune response to neoplastic cells (e.g., tumor cells) which, in nature, lack a CoCAM surface molecule essential for a cytotoxic immune response. GPI-anchored CoCAM molecules are incorporated (by GPI-protein transfer) into neoplastic cells, neoplastic cell membrane preparations or neoplastic membrane vesicle preparations and formulated in immunogenic compositions. A specifically exemplified GPI-CoCAM is a B7.1/CD16B fusion protein, having the GPI anchor domain from the CD16B molecule.
