Recombinant pox viruses capable of expressing an immunogenic fragment of the MUC1 tumor-associated antigen are disclosed. The recombinant viruses can be used as vaccines to prevent the establishment of or treat tumors or pre-tumorous cells expressing the MUC1 tumor-associated antigen. The vaccines can be provided as an admixture comprising: (1) a recombinant pox virus encoding the immunogenic fragment of the MUC1 tumor-associated antigen, and (2) a recombinant pox virus encoding a T-cell co-stimulatory factor. The vaccine admixture can be used, e. g. , to prevent establishment of tumors or pre-tumorous cells expressing the MUC1 tumor-associated antigen. The MUC1 specific cytotoxic T-cells can be isolated and expanded and used in a method for treating a host having a tumor expressing MCU1 positive tumor cells.

US Classification:
424 9321, 435370, 435455, 435 29
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the discovery of immortalized neonatal human hepatocytes that exhibit phenotypic features of human hepatic progenitor cells. The invention is also directed to a method of obtaining telomerase-immortalized neonatal human hepatocytes that exhibit phenotypic features of human hepatic progenitor cells. Furthermore, the instant invention describes methods of using the immortalized neonatal human hepatocytes in cellular therapies, toxicological studies, pharmacokinetic studies, metabolic studies, therapeutic gene delivery and for the production of fully differentiated hepatocytes.
