Whole-cell vaccines allow the induction of anti-tumor immune responses without the need to define tumor antigens. We wished to directly compare, for the first time, the capacity of B7-1, B7-2 and 4-1BB ligand (4-1BBL) costimulatory molecules to convert murine and human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells into whole vaccines. 32Dc-kit is a murine myeloid cell line, which develops an AML-like disease over a protracted period, emulating human AML disease development. 32Dc-kit cells were modified to express elevated levels of B7-1, B7-2 or 4-1BBL, and each led to tumor rejection, although only mice injected with 32Dc-kit/B7-2 cells were able to reject subsequent parental tumor cell challenge. T-cell deficient nude mice were able to reject the 32Dc-kit variants, but they could not reject parental cell challenge; however, we found no evidence of cytotoxic T lymphocyte or natural killer (NK) activity ex vivo suggesting that tumor cell killing was mediated by an immune response that could not be recapitulated using purified NK or T cells as lone effectors. In human allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLRs), we found no single costimulatory molecule was more effective, suggesting that the induction of a universal anti-tumor response will require a combination of costimulatory molecules.
