The major goals of the Tumour Immunology Laboratory are to obtain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms by which an immune response to tumors may be generated, augmented and applied to the inhibition of tumor growth. The members of this laboratory share the expectation that such insight will be applicable to the treatment and/or prevention of cancer. The Tumour Immunology laboratory is supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health (US), the National Health and Medical Research Council, the Queensland Cancer Fund and the Leukaemia Foundation.
Some ongoing studies include:
DESIGN OF RECOMBINANT THERAPEUTIC VACCINES TO EBV-ASSOCIATED NASOPHARYNGEAL CARCINOMA AND HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA
Corey Smith, Maher Gandhi and Rajiv Khanna
Development of vaccine strategies for EBV-associated cancers
nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and
Hodgkin’s lymphoma
(HL) is a major focus of our laboratory. One such strategy currently under consideration is based on specifically enhancing human
immune response to EBV proteins expressed in these cancers. Since both these cancers express identical viral proteins, we anticipate
that a common immunotherapeutic protocol may provide curative benefit to cancer bearing patients. We have successfully identified
immunogenic determinants from the EBV proteins expressed in NPC and HD and laboratory tests have shown that killer T cells specific
for these determinants can efficiently kill these cancer cells. Using these viral determinants we have desigend a therapeutic
vaccine (referred to as E1-LMPpolyTM) which has been extensively tested in preclinical studies and has shown very promising
results. It is anticipated that by mid 2007, we will initiate a series of Phase I clinical trials to test the efficacy of this
therapeutic vaccine in NPC and HL patients. Various hospitals in Australia (e.g. Peter McCallam Cancer Institute, Princess
Alexandra Hospital) and overseas (e.g. University of Hong Kong) will be participating in these multicentre clinical studies.
In addition, our group is also negotiating with biotech companies to explore their potential involvement in the future development
and commercialisation of this vaccine. Any potential companies interested in licensing E1-LMPpolyTM technology
can contact QIMR Business Development Office or Tumour Immunology Laboratory.

DEVELOPING A PROPHYLACTIC VACCINE FOR HUMAN CYTOMEGALOVIRUS
Jie Zhong, Michael Rist, Tania Crough, and Rajiv Khanna
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most significant microbial cause of birth defects, including brain damage and deafness, in developed
nations. There is a compelling argument that a reduction in HCMV load would provide significant benefit in improving human health and
reducing health care costs. Vaccination is the most practical way to achieve such a reduction in HCMV load. There are two important
clinical settings where vaccination will have a significant impact on health outcome. The first is the prevention of the sequelae of
congenital HCMV infection. A prophylactic vaccine to prevent congenital HCMV infection would make a major public good and economic
contribution by reducing the incidence of birth defects. The second setting is the prevention of HCMV-related complications in organ
transplantation. HCMV is a major pathogen in both solid organ and bone marrow transplant recipients. We have identified a large number
of cytotoxic T cell epitopes from a variety of HCMV antigens. A subset of epitopes from this group has been nominated for inclusion in
a HCMV vaccine on the basis of human immune responsiveness and population coverage. These epitopes form an important component of a
prophylactic vaccine for HCMV. Using the QIMR polyepitope technology, a model prophylactic vaccine has been developed which is currently
undergoing preclinical testing. Preliminary studies indicate that each of the components of this vaccine is efficiently processed by human
cells for display to the immune system and that strong T cell responses are induced when HLA class I transgenic mice are immunised with
this vaccine. The HCMV program has also been successful in establishing collaborative links with several biotechnology companies to develop
HCMV diagnostic applications. Any potential companies interested in licensing HCMV vaccine technology can contact QIMR Business Development
Office or Tumour Immunology Laboratory.

TARGETING UBIQUITOUSLY EXPRESSED EBV CANCER-ASSOCIATED ANTIGEN EBNA1 FOR IMMUNOTHERAPY
Judy Tellam and Rajiv Khanna
EBV is uniquely associated with a broad range of human malignancies. In spite of their diverse cellular origin, most of these malignancies
share common features, including the expression of very limited array of EBV latent proteins, which can be potentially exploited for immune
based therapies. EBV-encoded nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) is ubiquitously expressed in all EBV-associated cancers and thought to escape killer
T cell recognition through either self-inhibition of synthesis or by blockade of proteasomal degradation by an internal glycine-alanine
repeat domain (GAr). Our laboratroy has been interested in exploring strategies by which EBNA1 can be targeted for immune recognition and
thus provide a single therapeutic strategy for all EBV-associated cancers. Earlier studies from laboratory have shown that cotranslational
ubiquitination combined with N-end rule targeting can dramatically enhances the intracellular degradation of EBNA1 and remarkably, leads to
induction of a very strong killer T cell response to this protein. More recently, we have shown that EBNA1 displays varied cell type
dependent stability; however, these different degradation rates do not correspond to the level of killer T cell recognition. In spite
of the highly stable expression of EBNA1 in B cells, CTL epitopes derived from this protein are efficiently processed and presented to
killer T cells. Furthermore, we showed that EBV-infected B cells can readily activate EBNA1-specific killer T cell responses from healthy
virus carriers. Functional assays revealed that endogenous processing of EBNA1 in virus-infected cells is dependent on the newly synthesized
protein rather than the long-lived stable EBNA1. We are currently exploring novel stratagies to increase EBNA1 translation rates by targeting
EBNA1's self-inhibiting sequence which may lead to increased killer T cell presentation and thus improve the efficacy of anti-EBV T cell therapy.
