Abstract
Previous studies by us demonstrated that radiation induces tumor neoantigen presentation on cell surface Class I MHC, increases expression of death receptors (FAS and CD40) and translocation of cytoplasmic stress proteins (calreticulin, HSP70) to the cell surface as “danger signals” for dendritic cell activation. Therefore, we hypothesized that radiation therapy (RT) would amplify the immune response to a conventional tumor vaccine. In this study, we examine whether RT can amplify the immune response to PSA following an attenuated Listeria-based PSA vaccine (ADX-142, Advaxis, NJ) designed for immunotherapy of PC.
