At the age of 1 yr, the incidence of progressively growing nodular melanomas was 7% in C57BL 6 Hgf mice (n = 14) and 62% in C57BL 6 Hgf-Cdk4 R24C mice (n = 61). Although both genetic alterations are present in all cells, they selectively promote malignantimmune conversion surveillance of melanocytes and immune evasion of melanoma because only very few mice develop tumors of other histology at the time of melanoma-related death. C Spontaneous nodular melanomas are not randomly distributed in the skin of Hgf-Cdk4 R24C mice and vary in number and tumor growth kinetics. Tumors appear mostly on the back and more rarely in other localizations such as the ear, nose, belly, extremities, anus and tail (Figure 1B).

Primary melanomas strongly expressed the melanosomal enzymes gp100 (Si ) and Trp2 (Dct) as well as the melanocyte-specific isoform 2 of the transcription factor Mitf when compared with nevi or healthy skin, confirming the presence of large numbers of pigmented melanoma cells (Figure 4C).

39 Antitumor vaccine Prophylactic (hepatitis B, HPV) Therapeutic

40 Efficacy differences between Prophylactic and Therapeutic vaccine Hepatitis B and HPV vaccine give a good protection since they specific viral antigens are known. Therapeutic vaccine have a reduced effcacy if any.

41 Therapeutic vaccine lack of antigen hamper their efficacy No specific Ag Patients treatment performed with: small peptides (pharmacokinetic fast removed), DC not stimulated with right adjuvant thus not not fully matured (anergy)

42 THE FUTURE

43 Next therapeutic vaccine GlaxoSmithKline is generation I currently conducting a large (.2,500 patients) randomized phase III trial using a recombinant fusion protein encoding a single cancertestis antigen (MAGE-A3) in HLA-A2-positive non-small cell lung cancer patients, together with their ASO2B adjuvant consisting of a saponin/lipid-aemulsion combined with TLR4 and TLR9 agonists. Initial read-outs from the phase II trial (180 patients) showed somesurvival response (27%), but this did not reach statistical significance. LIMITATIONS: no information on the MAGE3 expression in lung cancer

44 Next therapeutic vaccine generation II Virus based: NCI vaccinia virus recombinant coding for prostate specific Ag, B7.1, ICAM-1, LFA-3 plus GM-CSF Result prostate cancer patients survival 25 months survival instead 15 months

45 Problem: patient treatment with a single tumor specific Ag or a repertoire of several tumor associated Ags?

46 The GVAX exeperience The prostate cancer cells in toto engeneerized with GMCSF gene were administred to prostate cancer patients. FAILURE they did not cover the whole tumor associated Ags spectra

47 DC vaccine based intervention the Provenge exeperience Provange was a DC based vaccine for advanced prostate cancer patients composed by PBMC+cytokines and tumor derived differentiation Ags 1 out 341 treated patents respond however 2,6% patients have areduction of cancer prostate Ag Survival 25.8 months instaed of 21.7 months FDA granted the approval since these patients have no other therapy

89 VACCINOLOGY" Subunit Vaccines" Viral Vectors" DNA Vaccines" Peptide Vaccines"

90 Vaccines How can we prevent infectious diseases? The goal of vaccination is to induce a long lived immune response that prevents disease Requires adaptive/antigen-specific responses Long lived immunological memory Accelerated recall responses that rapidly control the infection

91 Passive immunity involves the transfer of preformed antibodies" Active immunity gives rise to long-term protection" Naturally acquired vs. artificial immunity"

92 LIVE VIRAL VACCINES" Are attenuated forms of the parental (virulent) virus. Infection with the attenuated (vaccine) strain does not cause disease but induces protective immunity. Therefore, the vaccinee is is immunologically protected if exposed to the virulent virus." " POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH LIVE VIRAL VACCINES:! Risk of reversion to virulence" Storage and transportation" Unrecognized agents may contaminate cultures" "! "

93 INACTIVATED or KILLED VIRUS VACCINES! Examples:" Inactivated poliovirus vaccine" Influenza virus vaccine" Hepatitis A vaccine" Rabies vaccine" Efficacy Issues:! Must ensure complete inactivation" Multiple vaccinations (boosters) may be necessary" Non-replicating agents may be less effective at eliciting immune responses"

94

95 SUCESSFUL VACCINATIONS: SMALLPOX ERADICATION Virology and disease aspects! No secondary hosts; only infects humans" No persistent infection" Subclinical infections are not spread" Easily diagnosed! Immunology! Infection confers long term immunity" One stable serotype" Vaccine is cheap and stable! Social and political aspects! Severe disease with high morbidity and mortality" Eradication from developed countries demonstrated feasibility" Political willingness

96 PATHOLOGY, IMMUNE SYSTEM AND THERAPY

97 Key Points I: Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites There are numerous methods and routes of transmission They infect permissive host cells This is defines their TROPISUM Local vs. Systemic infections Primary vs. Secondary Viremia Outcomes/ Types of Infection Acute/ latent/ chronic/ transforming

98 Key Points II: Immune Responses to Viruses Innate (Interferon α/β; Macrophages; NK cells) Adaptive (B cells/ Abs; T cells/ CD4/CD8) Detrimental effects? Viral Strategies for Evading the Immune Response Hide from the immune response Downregulate gene expression Antigenic variation (DRIFTS and SHIFTS) Downregulation of cell surface molecules (MHC class I) Cytokine analogues/ interference Tolerance

99 Key Points III Infection Control PUBLIC HEALTH VACCINES Live- attenuated Inactivated- killed Advantages/ disadvantages ANTIVIRAL CHEMOTHERAPY Target a virus-specific process Avoid cellular toxicity
