Induction of tumor and viral immunity using antigen presenting cell co-culture products and fusion products

摘要

Formulations comprising combinations of APCs and tumor cells and APCs and virally infected cells are disclosed. These formulations generally comprise hybridoma of at least one antigen presenting cell fused to either at least one tumor cell or at least one virally infected cell, or the products of co-cultures of antigen presenting cells and either tumor cells or virally infected cells. Methods for using these formulations in prophylactically and therapeutically treating patients are also disclosed.
