General description
Glioblastomas are among the most aggressive forms of cancer, associated with low treatment efficacy and poor survival. Recurring glioblastomas are often resistant to first-line chemotherapies (1). There is much interest in studying drug-resistant forms of glioblastomas in the effort to develop effective therapies.

The CT-2A cell line is derived from a sub-cutaneous, non-metastatic murine glioma (astrocytoma). The originating tumor was classified as poorly differentiated with high vascularity and malignancy (2). CT-2A cells are marked by high levels of complex gangliosides and low distribution of the anti-angiogenic ganglioside GM3, as well as deficiency in the tumor suppressor PTEN/TSC2, a characteristic present in up to 70% of human high-grade glioma cell lines (3,4). CT-2A tumors are wild-type for p53 and recapitulate several features of human high-grade glioma, including high mitotic index and cell density, nuclear polymorphism, hemorrhage, pseudopalisading necrosis, and microvascular proliferation (5,6).
Source:
CT-2A was generated from a malignant astrocytoma formed via implantation of the carcinogen 20-methylcholanthrene in the cerebrum of a C57BL/6J mouse (7). The tumor was maintained through serial intracranial transplants prior to cell line isolation.

Glioblastoma is the most common brain tumor in adults and virtually incurable. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Immune checkpoint inhibition has not shown activity in various phase III trials and intra- as well as intertumoral expression of programmed

A B-cell-based cellular vaccine (BVax), produced from 4-1BBL+ B cells, can select tumor-specific B cells that, upon ex vivo culture, can generate tumor-specific antibodies and activate T cells. Here, we present a protocol to generate a B-cell-based vaccine in a CT2A orthotopic
