variable outcome, but it is now recognized that on going vaccination may be necessary<br />

to maintain immunity.<br />

Multiple myeloma has also attracted attention. Again there is data to suggest patients<br />

can mount T-mediated anti-idiotype responses [136]. In vitro studies confirm<br />

the ability of autologous Mo-DCs to generate such responses [137, 138] <strong>and</strong> the one<br />

clinical study suggested that DCs generated anti-idiotype responses after autologous<br />

stem cell transplantation [139]. Multiple myeloma patients may be more immunosuppressed<br />

<strong>and</strong> idiotype may be a weak TAA, but as all these studies have employed<br />

the i.v. route of immunization this may account for the relatively low frequency of<br />

anti-idiotype responses (four of 26 versus 24 of 26 KLH control in [140]). Interestingly,<br />

three-quarters of responders in the later study were in complete disease remission.<br />

Another study performed in the post-transplant setting [107] remains to be<br />

fully reported; however, it too suggests responses may occur in the MRD setting<br />
