The following is licensed under Know-How in this Agreement.







Vaccine Cell Lines:


GM.CD40L universal bystander vaccine cell line


H1944 and H2122 Non-small cell lung cancer cell lines (allogeneic source of lung tumor antigens)

Validation and Adventitious Agent testing results of Vaccine Cell Lines







Standard Operating Procedures:


Manufacturing procedures for GM.CD40L, H1944, H2122







Preclinical Data:  In preclinical studies, significant anti-tumor T cell responses were generated in vitro when human lymphocytes derived from tumor-draining lymph nodes were stimulated with autologous tumor cells in the presence of the GM.CD40L bystander cells. Dendritic cells were also demonstrated to be activated following incubation with the vaccine. Data published in Journal of Surgical Research 2005 May 15; 125(2): 173-81. Epub 2005 Jan 28. PMID 15754671







Regulatory Documents, Clinical Trial Protocol for Phase I Clinical Trial (Safety):


Trial data (trial summary: patients with a variety of stage IV cancers received 3 intradermal vaccine injections at 28-day intervals.  The results of this trial demonstrated that the vaccine was safe, and that it elicited immunological and clinical responses in some patients.
