MHC class I loaded ligands from breast cancer cell lines: A potential HLA-I-typed antigen collection.
2018
Abstract To build a catalog of peptides presented by breast cancer cells, we undertook systematic MHC class I immunoprecipitation followed by elution of MHC class I-loaded peptides in breast cancer cells. We determined the sequence of 3196 MHC class I ligands representing 1921 proteins from a panel of 20 breast cancer cell lines. After removing duplicate peptides, i.e., the same peptide eluted from more than one cell line, the total number of unique peptides was 2740. Of the unique peptides eluted, more than 1750 had been previously identified, and of these, sixteen have been shown to be immunogenic. Importantly, half of these immunogenic peptides were shared between different breast cancer…
Recommendations from the iSBTc-SITC/FDA/NCI Workshop on Immunotherapy Biomarkers
2011
Abstract Purpose: To facilitate development of innovative immunotherapy approaches, especially for treatment concepts exploiting the potential benefits of personalized therapy, there is a need to develop and validate tools to identify patients who can benefit from immunotherapy. Despite substantial effort, we do not yet know which parameters of antitumor immunity to measure and which assays are optimal for those measurements. Experimental Design: The iSBTc-SITC (International Society for Biological Therapy of Cancer-Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer), FDA (Food and Drug Administration), and NCI (National Cancer Institute) partnered to address these issues for immunotherapy of cancer. Here…
A comparison of two types of dendritic cell as adjuvants for the induction of melanoma-specific T-cell responses in humans following intranodal injec…
2001
Dendritic cells (DCs) elicit potent anti-tumoral T-cell responses in vitro and in vivo. However, different types of DC have yet to be compared for their capacity to induce anti-tumor responses in vivo at different developmental stages. Herein, we correlated the efficiencies of different types of monocyte-derived DC as vaccines on the resulting anti-tumor immune responses in vivo. Immature and mature DCs were separately pulsed with a peptide derived from tyrosinase, MelanA/MART-1 or MAGE-1 and a recall antigen. Both DC populations were injected every 2 weeks in different lymph nodes of the same patient. Immune responses were monitored before, during and after vaccination. Mature DCs induced …
