Abstract Objective: During the last years a growing number of MHC-restricted antigens were recognized using autologous or HLA-matched cytotoxic T-cell lines (TCL). Molecules were isolated by HPLC or identified using cDNA expression cloning from normal or malignant target cells and found to derive from normal proteins or from mutated tumor-specific proteins. The majority of the tumor-specific peptides were derived from melanoma cells. The aim of this project was to search for immunogenic peptides on leukemia cells with the help of TCLs obtained from a stem cell donor against chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) recipient cells and to identify the immunogenic peptides by cDNA expression clonin…

Contains fulltext : 95663.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) We present results of a phase 3 randomized trial of autografting in chronic lymphocytic leukemia versus observation for responding patients after first- or second-line treatment. The primary objective was to demonstrate that autografting improves the 5-year event-free survival (EFS) from 30% to 50%. There were 223 enrolled patients, 72% men and 28% women, 83% after first and 17% after second-line treatment. Binet stages were progressive A 13%, B 67%, C 20%; at randomization, 59% were in complete remission, and 41% in less than complete remission. Patients were randomized between autografting (n = 112) and observation (n = …
