Abstract:
Disclosed herein are compositions comprising use of compositions comprising a live attenuated recombinant strain comprising a fusion protein of a truncated listeriolysin O (LLO) protein, a truncated ActA protein, or a PEST amino acid sequence fused to a heterologous antigen, including a tumor-associated antigen, wherein the compositions further comprise or are co-administered with an antibody or fragment thereof. Also disclosed are combination therapies comprising use of these compositions comprising live attenuated recombinant strains, in conjunction with an antibody or fragment thereof for use in treating, protecting against, and/or inducing an immune response against a tumor, especially wherein the treating, protection against and/or inducing an immune response increases percent survival in a subject.
