We investigated influenza virosomes as a TAA-gene delivery system for use in TAA-directed anti-cancer vaccine therapy. An engineered plasmid (GC90) expressing the parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTH-rP), a protein secreted by prostate and lung carcinoma cells, was included in influenza virosomes (GC90V). The ability of GC90V to elicit a PTH-rP-specific cytotoxic T cell (CTL) response was demonstrated in BALB/c mice immunised with intranasal (i.n.) GC90V+/-adjuvant subcutaneous (s.c.) interleukin-2 (IL-2). A PTH-rP-specific CTL response with antitumour activity was also demonstrated in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated in vitro with GC90V infected autologous dendritic cells (DC). These results provide a rationale for investigating GC90V in clinical trials of anticancer vaccine therapy.
