Abstract:
A vaccine composition for inducing anti-tumor immunity comprising non-malignant cells, preferably syngeneic mon-malignant cells, coupled with adjuvant compounds. The nonmalignant immunizing cells of the present invention induce T-cell mediated cytoxicity which cross-reacts with tumor cells, providing in vivo protection against the tumor cells. Examples of turmors which may be treated by administration of the vaccine compositions include fibrosarcomas, glioblastomas, and all solid and lymphoid tumors.
