| vaccine group one | EXPERIMENTAL | Patients will receive a total of 7 subcutaneous injections, at weeks 1, 2, 3, 8 , 20 , 32 , and 52. Minor schedule adjus tment s are permitted , as needed Vaccines must occur a inimum of 6 days apart. The last three vaccine s can be administered up to one week earlier or later than indicated without representing a protocol violation.Patients assigned to in Group 1 will receive o ral β glucan (40 mg/kg/day) starting at week 6 or 7 and continue with approximately 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, up to 1 cycle after the last vaccination . |

Minor schedule adjus tment s are permitted , as needed Vaccines must occur a minimum of 6 days apart. The last three vaccine s can be administered up to one week earlier or later than indicated without representing a protocol violation.Group 3 will include patients who have previously received vaccine and oral β glucanglucan. Patients in this group will not be randomized using the MSK CRDB system. They will be treated as patients in Group 1 and receive o ral β glucan (40 mg/kg/day) starting at week 6 or 7 and continue with approximately 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, up to 1 cycle after the last vaccination . They will not be eligible for primary endpoint. |

| adjuvant OPT-821 in a vaccine containing two antigens (GD2L and GD3L) covalently linked to KLH | BIOLOGICAL | Pts receive a total of 7 subcutaneous injections, at weeks 1, 2, 3, 8, 20, 32, \& 52. Minor schedule adjustments are permitted, as needed. Vaccines must occur a minimum of 6 days apart. Induction of antibody response against the target antigens will be assessed. A fixed dose of oral β-glucan (40 mg/kg/day) is started at week 6 or 7(to allow time for generation of antibodies), \& continued as approximately 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, up to 1 cycle after the last vaccination. Neutrophils will be tested for glucan effects on cytotoxicity. Antineuroblastoma activity will be monitored using standard radiographic \& bone marrow studies, as well as RT-PCR for measurement of minimal residual disease in blood \& bone marrow. Phase II treatment schema for patients in 1st CR/VGPR or \>2nd CR/VGPR will be the same for the vaccine as in phase I except OPT-821 will be given at a fixed dose of 150 mcg/m2. |
| oral β-glucan | BIOLOGICAL | Phase II Patients will be randomized to starting oral β-glucan (40 mg/kg/day) in week 1 or in week 6. |
