Mucin is a glycoprotein found on the surface of cell membranes of adenocarcinomas. The purpose of these studies was to generate MUC1 multiple tandem repeat (VNTR)-stimulated mononuclear cells (M1SMC). We first determined the optimal conditions to influence the immune response. In these studies, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), from patients with adenocarcinomas, were stimulated by different numbers of M1SMC stimulations, various concentrations of MUC1 peptide, washing of PBMC prior to stimulation and days in culture, to determine the optimal conditions to influence the immune response. The results of this study indicate that the mononuclear cells (MC) stimulated twice 1 week apart with MUC1 VNTR1 produced a greater specific killing of the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 than the 0, 1, 3 or 4 weekly stimulations. The optimal molarity for inducing cytotoxicity and cytokines (granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, gamma-interferon and interleukin-10) was 45 x 10(-8) M (1 microg/ml); except for tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha which was 22 x 10(-8) M (0.5 microg/ml). The unwashed MC were superior to washing them with Ficoll-Hypaque. The optimal number of days in culture for cytotoxicity and cytokine production was after two stimulations (i.e. after day 7). Optimum conditions for generation of M1SMC identified in these studies were two stimulations with peptide, concentration of 45 x 10(-8) M (1 microg/ml) peptide, unwashed cells, and after two stimulations or after 8 days in culture. M1SMC were generated from multiple patients with breast cancer which lysed adenocarcinoma cells.
