T-cell based immunotherapies might be a novel option for the treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), a disease characterized by a prolonged natural course. Different strategies of active immunotherapy have been tested in vitro to enhance a specific T-cell response against tumor cells and an anti-leukemic effect has been observed in B-CLL patients after allogenic stem cell transplantation. Several antigens have been characterized as tumor/leukemia associated antigens (T/LAAs) in B-CLL with the potential to elicit specific anti-tumor response encompassing idiotype immunoglobulin, oncofetal antigen-immature laminin receptor protein (OFAiLRP), survivin, as well as fibromodulin, the receptor for hyaluronic acid mediated motility (RHAMM/CD168) and the murine double-minute 2 oncoprotein (MDM2). This study presents an overview of possible targets and genetherapeutical maneuvers for future immunotherapies of B-CLL patients and summarizes recent clinical vaccination trials with dendritic cells (DCs) for B-CLL.
