Furthermore, vaccination with an adeno-associated virus (AAV)–CEA vector combined with Toll-like receptor-9 or Toll-like receptor-7 agonists in wild-type mice resulted in enhanced Th1-mediated immunity and protection from challenge with MC38 colon tumor cells expressing CEA, whereas the same CEA vaccines in CEA transgenic animals promoted tumor growth due to tolerance phenomena elicited by dendritic and myeloid cells [15]. Here, CEACAM5 is linked to colonic neoplasm.
