Abstract
An immunogenic formulation for a patient, the formulation includes virus-modulated hematopoietic cancer cells, where the modulated hematopoietic cancer cells are generated from viable hematopoietic cancer cells obtained from the patient, either isolated or in a mixed hematopoietic population of healthy and cancer cells, and where the viable hematopoietic cancer cells are infected ex vivo with a virus that modulates the expression of a plurality of endogenous immune regulatory molecules to increase the immunogenicity of the hematopoietic cancer cells.
