Description

The idiotype of the immunoglobulin on a given B cell malignancy (Id) can serve as a clonal marker, and a previous pilot study in lymphoma patients has demonstrated that autologous Id protein can be formulated into an immunogenic, tumor specific antigen by conjugation to a carrier protein (KLH) and administration with an emulsion-based adjuvant. The objectives of this study are: 1) to evaluate feasibility and toxicity of new vaccine formulations, and 2) to evaluate cellular and humoral immune responses against the unique idiotype of the patient's lymphoma. The goal of this study is to trea...
