Patent

CA 2678180

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for enhancing an immune response, for example to a vaccine, by combining the administration of oxygen (O2 gas), an adenosine pathway antagonist and/or an HIF- l.alpha. antagonist, and/or inhibitors of enzymes that produce or generate adenosine with the administration of the vaccine to the patient. The present invention also relates to methods of inducing or enhancing immune responses, methods of treating subjects having a tumor, methods of ablating or killing tumor cells and methods of disrupting the blood supply to a tumor, comprising administering oxygen alone or in combination with therapeutic agents that prevent inhibition of anti-tumor T cells. Tumor defense-resistant immune cells, anti-viral immune cells, and methods of their production are also disclosed.

La présente invention concerne des compositions et procédés pour amplifier une réponse immunitaire, par exemple à un vaccin, en combinant l'administration d'oxygène (gaz O2), un antagoniste des voies de l'adénosine et/ou antagoniste de HIF-1a et/ou des inhibiteurs d'enzymes qui produisent ou génèrent de l'adénosine avec l'administration du vaccin au patient. La présente invention concerne également des procédés pour induire ou amplifier des réponses immunitaires, des procédés de traitement de sujets ayant une tumeur, des procédés pour pratiquer une ablation de cellules tumorales ou tuer celles-ci et des procédés pour interrompre l'alimentation en sang d'une tumeur, comprenant l'administration d'oxygène seul ou en combinaison avec des agents thérapeutiques qui empêchent l'inhibition de lymphocytes T antitumoraux. Des cellules immunitaires résistant à la défense tumorale, des cellules immunitaires antivirales et des procédés pour leur production sont également révélés.
