Heterologous Prime-Boost Vaccination in Tumor Immunotherapy

  • Chapter
Handbook of Cancer Vaccines

Part of the book series: Cancer Drug Discovery and Development ((CDD&D))

Abstract

Most of the vaccine strategies under development use multiple immunizations with the same agent such as a viral vector encoding a tumor antigen. More recently, the concept of heterologous prime-boost immunization has been tested in animal models. This strategy involves the sequential administration of different delivery vectors encoding the same recombinant antigen (1). Initially demonstrated in animal studies of infectious diseases, such as malaria (1,2) and AIDS (3), prime-boost technology is now being developed for use in tumor patients (4).
