Cancer vaccines targeting tumor-associated antigens are being investigated for the therapy of tumors. Numerous strategies, including the direct intratumoral (i.t.) vaccination route, have been examined. For tumors expressing carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as a model tumor-associated antigen, we previously designed poxviral vectors that contain the transgenes for CEA and a triad of T-cell costimulatory molecules, B7-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, (ICAM-1), and leukocyte function associated antigen-3 (LFA-3) (CEA/TRICOM). Two types of poxvirus vectors were developed: replication-competent recombinant vaccinia and replication-defective recombinant fowlpox. We have shown previously that a vaccine regimen composed of priming mice s.c. with recombinant vaccinia-CEA/TRICOM and boosting i.t. with recombinant fowlpox-CEA/TRICOM was superior to priming and boosting vaccinations using the conventional s.c. route in inducing T-cell responses specific for CEA. These studies also showed that CEA was needed to be present both in the vaccine and in the tumor for therapeutic effects.
