Purpose: Trioma cells are lymphoma cells that have been fused to a hybridoma and have thereby been modified to express an immunoglobulin directed against surface receptors of antigen-presenting cells. Trioma cells that potentially include all lymphoma-derived antigens will be targeted to professional antigen-presenting cells in vivo. This allows uptake, processing, and presentation of tumor-derived antigens to T lymphocytes. In a mouse model, vaccination with trioma cells conferred long-lasting, T cell-dependent tumor immunity and was even able to eradicate established lymphomas. Here, we investigated whether this potent approach is effective in the human system. Experimental design: Malignant cells from 11 patients with B cell chronic-lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) were fused to an anti-Fc receptor hybridoma. The resulting trioma cells were extensively characterized with respect to their clonal origin. The induction of autologous tumor-specific T lymphocytes in the presence of trioma and antigen-presenting cells was examined in vitro by determining cytokine secretion in coculture assays. Results: In seven cases, trioma cells could successfully be generated from B-CLL cells. Stimulation of autologous lymphocytes with trioma cells induced a leukemia-specific T-cell response. Immunostimulatory trioma cells were also obtained from two patients with solid B-cell lymphoma. Conclusions: Trioma-mediated immunization may be a promising adjuvant treatment of human malignancies of the B-cell lineage, particularly of B-CLL, which has still a very poor prognosis. Our in vitro results pave the way for clinical application.
