Humoral and cellular immune responses against tumor cells and infectious agents are induced in a mammal using a vaccine comprising antibodies and anti-idiotype antibodies that mimic an epitope of antigen that is associated with a tumor or infectious agent. Antibodies and cytokines also may be used to amplify the immune cascade. Moreover, antibodies and anti-idiotype antibodies can be used to produce T cells that are not MHC-restricted and that are targeted to tumor cells and infectious agents. |
