Clin Cancer Res. 2019 Aug 15;25(16):4871-4873. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-19-1652. Epub 2019 Jun 21.

Abstract

Induction of antitumor responses by vaccines requires strong immunogens. Heterologous viral prime/boost immunization with the BN-CV301 vaccine promotes activation of immune responses that provide a clinical benefit to patients with cancer. This viral platform may be used to harbor different antigens and prime tumor immunity potentially useful for combinatorial strategies.See related article by Gatti-Mays et al., p. 4933.
