Abstract
GVAX is a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene-transfected tumor cell vaccine. Original work with GM-CSF as a recombinant DNA protein (Leukine) involved proliferative stimulation of macrophages and neutrophils for the purpose of reducing hematopoietic toxicity related to dose-intensive chemotherapy. Following US Food and Drug Administration approval of Leukine several years ago, extensive preclinical results have demonstrated an immunostimulatory effect related to GM-CSF gene when transfected into tumor cells and used as a vaccine (GVAX). Tumor regression and prolonged survival was demonstrated in animal models. Toxicology with GVAX indicated no adverse effects, which enabled further testing in cancer patients. A small number of responses were demonstrated in Phase I trials in immunosensitive cancer patients (renal cell carcinoma and melanoma). However, a series of dramatic complete and durable responses in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients, demonstrated in recent clinical trials, have generated interest in further development of this vaccine in nontraditional cancer disease types. The rationale of GVAX development and a summary of clinical results are reviewed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The completion of the sequencing of the human genome in 2003 marked the dawn of a new era of human biology and medicine. Although these remarkable scientific advances improve the understanding of human biology, the question remains how this rapidly expanding knowledge of functional genomics affects the role of surgeons. This article reviews the potential therapeutic application of gene therapy for various surgical conditions.
Methods
The core of this review was derived from a Medline database literature search.
Results and conclusion
The currently available vectors in the field of gene therapy and their limitations for clinical applications were analysed. The achievements of gene therapy in clinical trials and the future ramifications for surgery were also explored. Whether gene therapy takes a major role in surgical practice will depend greatly on the success of future vector development. Advances in viral vector technology to reduce the inflammatory effect, and improvements in the efficiency of gene delivery using non-viral vector technology, would allow this form of therapy to become more clinically applicable.

Abstract
Traditionally, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not thought of as an immunosensitive malignancy. However, recent clinical results with GVAX, a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene-transduced autologous tumor vaccine, may suggest otherwise. This review summarizes immune-induced activity caused by GM-CSF protein and GM-CSF gene-transfected vaccines. Initial indication of use for GM-CSF protein (sargramostim) was to improve neutrophil recovery following cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, several trials involving patients with hematologic malignancy demonstrated improvement in survival related to delayed disease progression in patients receiving sargramostim in combination with chemotherapy. Subsequently, others explored potential antitumor activity with sargramostim in a variety of trials. Results did not consistently demonstrate sufficient antitumor activity to justify routine use of sargramostim as an anticancer agent. Preclinical work with GM-CSF gene-transfected vaccines, however, did demonstrate significant activity, thereby justifying clinical investigation. Patients with metastatic NSCLC who had previously failed chemotherapy demonstrated response to GVAX (3 of 33 complete responses) and dose-related improvement in survival (471 days vs. 174 days).

Abstract
The objective was to study the effects of patient-specific vaccine immunotherapy administered with either interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) or granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in patients with metastatic cancer. Short-term cell lines were established from cancer tissue resected from patients with metastatic cancer for use as autologous tumor cell vaccines. Successful cultures were expanded to 1 to 2 x 108 cells, irradiated, and cryopreserved in aliquots of 106 cells for intradermal testing of delayed tumor hypersensitivity and 107 cells for subcutaneous vaccinations. The study design was that of a randomized phase 2 trial. Patients were stratified by tumor type and by whether they had measurable disease at the time vaccination was to commence, and then randomized to receive either 100 MIU IFNgamma subcutaneously or 500 microg GM-CSF subcutaneously at the time of each tumor cell vaccination. Following a baseline test of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to an intradermal injection of 106 irradiated autologous tumor cells, patients received 3 weekly subcutaneous injections of 107 cells, had a repeat DTH test at week 4, then received monthly vaccinations for 5 months. A positive DTH test was defined as at least 10 mm of induration; survival was determined from the first DTH test. There were 98 patients enrolled with a median follow-up of over 4 years. The most prevalent diagnoses were melanoma (51), renal cell carcinoma (18), and soft-tissue sarcoma (14). There were 49 patients (26 men, 23 women, average age 50.4 years) randomized to IFNgamma and 49 (28 men, 21 women, average age 54.1 years) to GM-CSF. The average numbers of vaccine and adjuvant injections were 6.3 and 5.9, respectively. For the patients who received IFNgamma, the objective response rate was 0 of 21; for patients who received GM-CSF the response rate was 1 of 26. Only eight patients (four from each arm) had a positive baseline DTH reaction to autologous tumor. The tumor DTH test converted from negative to positive in 13 of 45 of the IFNgamma group and 11 of 43 of the GM-CSF group. With 29 patients deceased in the IFNgamma arm and 31 in the GM-CSF arm, the 2-year and 5-year survival rates were 45% and 29% for the IFNgamma arm and 41% and 23% for the GM-CSF arm (NSD). Both adjuvants were well tolerated and results were similar in both arms of the study. Both adjuvants were associated with a 25% to 30% rate of DTH conversion and a 25% 5-year survival rate. Immune recognition of autologous tumor can be induced with this approach.

Abstract
Early studies demonstrated the role of cytotoxic T cells as an immune defence mechanism against tumour cells. The demonstration of tumour antigen peptides and their presentation to T cells on major histocompatibility complex class I molecules highlighted the importance of these molecules in effective anti-tumour responses. It is well established that many tumours escape T cell recognition by loss or down regulation of class I molecule expression on the cell surface of tumour cells. Tumours which have lost class I expression are immunoselected and as a result have a propensity for growth and metastatic spread. With the development of cancer vaccine strategies for clinical use, there will be a future role for histocompatibility laboratories in determining class I expression on tumour cells in individual patients. These studies of expression will require not just the demonstration of total class I expression but the demonstration of locus and allele specific class I molecules involved in the relevant tumour peptide presentation. These studies will be pivotal in tailoring individual patient therapies. The identification of appropriate monoclonal antibody reagents for class I expression and techniques used on different kinds of tissue sections will be a component of the forthcoming 13th International Histocompatibility Workshop.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to illustrate some of the technical and biological hurdles that need to be addressed when developing new gene therapy based clinical trials. Gene transfer approaches can be used to "mark" cells to monitor their persistence in vivo in patients, to protect cells from toxic chemotherapeutic agents, correct a genetic defect within the target cell, or to confer a novel function on the target cell. Selection of the most suitable vector for gene transfer depends upon a number of factors such as the target cell itself and whether gene expression needs to be sustained or transient. The TCR gene transfer approach described here represents one innovative strategy being pursued as a potential therapy for metastatic melanoma. Tumor reactive T cells can be isolated from the tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) of melanoma patients. A retroviral vector has been constructed containing the T cell receptor (TCR) alpha and beta chain genes from a MART-1-specific T cell clone (TIL 5). Jurkat cells transduced with this virus specifically release cytokine in response to MART-1 peptide pulsed T2 cells, showing that the virus can mediate expression of a functional TCR. HLA-A2 transgenic mice are being used to examine whether transduced bone marrow progenitor cells will differentiate in vivo into mature CD8+ T cells expressing the MART-1-specific TCR. Expression of the human TCR alpha and beta chain genes has been detected by RT-PCR in the peripheral blood of HLA-A2 transgenic mice reconstituted with transduced mouse bone marrow. Expression of the TIL 5 TCR genes in the peripheral blood of these mice was maintained for greater than 40 weeks after bone marrow reconstitution. TIL 5 TCR gene expression was also maintained following transfer of bone marrow from mice previously reconstituted with transduced bone marrow to secondary mouse recipients, suggesting that a pluripotent progenitor or lymphocyte progenitor cell has been transduced.

Abstract
It has been more than 100 years since the first reported attempts to activate a patient's immune system to eradicate developing cancers. Although a few of the subsequent vaccine studies demonstrated clinically significant treatment effects, active immunotherapy has not yet become an established cancer treatment modality. Two recent advances have allowed the design of more specific cancer vaccine approaches: improved molecular biology techniques and a greater understanding of the mechanisms involved in the activation of T cells. These advances have resulted in improved systemic antitumor immune responses in animal models. Because most tumor antigens recognized by T cells are still not known, the tumor cell itself is the best source of immunizing antigens. For this reason, most vaccine approaches currently being tested in the clinics use whole cancer cells that have been genetically modified to express genes that are now known to be critical mediators of immune system activation. In the future, the molecular definition of tumor-specific antigens that are recognized by activated T cells will allow the development of targeted antigen-specific vaccines for the treatment of patients with cancer.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with unfractionated tumor cell lysates or defined tumor peptides provide potent vaccines which elicit strong antitumor immunity. In this study, we generated DCs from the 2-h adherent progenitor cells obtained from the peripheral blood of melanoma patients. These DCs were able to capture biotinylated melanoma tumor cell lysates. We examined the efficacy of immunogens composed of DCs loaded either with the melanoma peptide gp100 [amino acids 280-288 (DC/gp100)] or with lysates from melanoma tumor cells (DC/lysates) in inducing cytotoxic T-cells from autologous PBLs of HLA-A2 melanoma patients. After four to five weekly stimulations of bulk PBLs with DC/gp100 or DC/lysates, the cultures were enriched with CD3+ T-cells and exhibited one of three phenotypic and functional patterns: (1) Predominant expression of CD8+ and MHC class I-restricted CTLs which displayed strong lytic activity against melanoma cells and T2 cells loaded with the gp100 peptide, (2) mixed CD4+/CD8+ phenotype and weak lytic activity, or (3) nonlytic and predominantly CD4+ cultures. Interestingly, T-cell cultures from each patient exhibited similar phenotypes and lytic activities whether the stimulant was DC/gp100 or DC/cell lysates. Our study demonstrates that DCs pulsed with soluble melanoma peptides or cell lysates are capable of inducing CD8+ CTLs from autologous PBLs of some, but not all, melanoma patients. The function and phenotype of the generated T-cell cultures are governed by DCs since both antigens (the gp100 peptide and melanoma lysates), when presented by a given DC preparation, induced similar T-cell cultures. In summary, it may be difficult to predict the nature of the cellular responses elicited by DC/tumor antigen vaccines from patient to patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor cells transduced with cytokine genes provide immunogenic vaccines for cancer immunotherapy. METHODS A Phase I clinical trial was conducted for the specific active immunization of melanoma patients with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) gene-modified autologous melanoma tumor cells. Short term melanoma cultures were transduced retrovirally with the gene for human IFN-gamma. The genetically modified melanoma cells secreted biologically active IFN-gamma and showed enhanced expression of major histocompatibility complex class I and class II surface antigens. These cells were inactivated by irradiation (50 gray) and were cryopreserved for the vaccine. Twenty melanoma patients were enrolled in this clinical trial. The immunizations were administered in escalating doses once every 2 weeks for 3 months. The first and second injections consisted of 2 million cells, followed by 6 million for the third and fourth injections, and then 18 million for the fifth and sixth injections. The humoral immune responses of the patients were assessed by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay, radioimmunoassay, and radioimmunoprecipitation. RESULTS Thirteen of the 20 patients completed the immunization protocol. Eight of these 13 patients showed a humoral immunoglobulin (Ig)G response against autologous and allogeneic melanoma cells. The other five patients either had no detectable antimelanoma antibodies or showed a weak IgG response that did not rise significantly above the preimmune level. All the sera contained low or undetectable levels of antimelanoma IgM antibodies. The IgG response increased progressively in titer during the course of immunization. The positive sera showed preferentially strong binding to melanoma cell lines and some cross-reactivity to nonmelanoma tumors. A 75-80 kD antigen on melanoma cells was immunoprecipitated by postimmune sera of 3 of the responding patients. Preimmune sera from these three patients and sera from other patients immunized with a standard nontransduced melanoma cell vaccine failed to precipitate this antigen. Two patients with significant increases in serum IgG had clinical tumor regression, and two additional patients with low serum IgG response had transient shrinkage of nodular disease during therapy. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that gene therapy with IFN-gamma-transduced melanoma cells is safe and worthy of further investigation in patients with less advanced stage malignant melanoma. The ability to monitor changes in the humoral responses of the immunized patients has been demonstrated.

Abstract
Production of autologous tumor vaccines would be facilitated by the development of a rapid and efficient method for the transfer of genes into freshly isolated cells. To evaluate the potential of replication defective herpes simplex viral (HSV) amplicon vectors as gene transfer vehicles for tumor vaccine generation, a vector that expresses the human interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene (HSV-IL2) and one that expresses Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase (HSVlac) were tested in hepatoma cells of both murine and human origin. Gene transfer into murine hepatoma cells (HEPA 1-6) was both rapid and highly efficient: greater than 50% of cells expressed beta-Gal when infected at a multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.) of 1 with an exposure period of 20 min. Moreover, gene transfer was as efficient in tumor cells after irradiation with 10,000 rads as in nonirradiated tumor cells. Irradiated HEPA 1-6 cells infected with HSV-IL2 for 20 min secreted IL-2 at a rate of 1,200 +/- 160 ng/10(6) cells per day. C57B1/6J mice immunized with irradiated, HSV-IL-2-transduced tumor cells produced in this way demonstrated specific tumor immunity by in vitro splenocyte tumoricidal activity and by in vivo protection against tumor challenge. Human hepatobiliary tumor specimens harvested at the time of operation, irradiated, and infected with HSV-IL-2 also produced nanogram quantities of IL-2/10(6) cells per 24 hr. These results indicate that the HSV amplicon vector is a good candidate vehicle for gene transfer in the production of autologous tumor vaccines. By allowing rapid gene transfer to freshly harvested tumor specimens, these vectors bypass the requirement for cell culture and make feasible reinfusion of genetically modified and irradiated autologous cells within hours of tumor harvest.

Abstract
The incidence of melanoma in the United States is increasing at a faster rate than that of any other cancer. The prognosis for metastatic disease is poor, and more effective treatments for disseminated disease are needed. Since melanoma is one of the more immunogenic tumors, strategies have focussed on immune recognition. In vitro studies suggest that potent tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells can be induced against human melanoma. Melanoma specific T-cell activation depends on appropriate presentation to the immune system of recently defined melanoma-associated antigens presented in the context of self-HLA gene products. Full T-cell activation requires the co- stimulation by B7-CD28 interactions at the T-cell surface and the elaboration of immune cytokines to promote T-cell growth. Data from animal models of tumor-specific immunization with tumor cells engineered to express immune cytokines or the B7 co-stimulatory molecule suggest that gene therapy for human melanoma may be an effective means to treat disseminated disease.
