Phase I study of sequential vaccinations with fowlpox-CEA(6D)-TRICOM alone and sequentially with vaccinia-CEA(6D)-TRICOM, with and without granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, in patients with carcinoembryonic antigen-expressing carcinomas.
CEA.Tg/MIN mice were vaccinated with an aggressive diversified prime/boost vaccine regimen: (a) a primary vaccine consisting of recombinant vaccinia virus-expressing CEA and a triad of costimulatory molecules (TRICOM): B7.1, ICAM-1, and LFA-3 (rV-CEA-TRICOM); and (b) a booster vaccine using CEA-TRICOM in a recombinant avipox (fowlpox) virus (rF-CEA-TRICOM).
