Regression of established liver tumor induced by monoepitopic peptide-based immunotherapy.
Most types of cancer are difficult to eradicate, and some, like hepatocellular carcinoma, are almost always fatal. Among various interventions to improve the survival of patients with cancer, immunotherapy seems to hold some promises. However, it requires relevant animal models for preclinical development. In this study we report a new and relevant experimental model where liver tumors grow ins...
متن کاملRegression by active specific immunotherapy of established dermal tumor transplants and lymph node metastases in guinea pigs.
Guinea pigs, each with an established, syngeneic dermal tumor (line-10) and microscopic lymph node metastasis, were treated by intradermal inoculation of living line-10 tumor cells admixed with emulsified heat-killed Mycobacterium bovis BCG cells. This treatment caused complete regression of established dermal tumors (about 10 mm in diameter) and prevented the growth of microscopic lymph node m...
متن کاملPeptide intra-tumor injection for cancer immunotherapy
One of the problems in antigen-specific cancer immunotherapy is the low density of the tumor antigen-derived peptide endogenously presented on tumor cell surface major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. To overcome this, we are engaged in research on peptide intra-tumor injection to enhance tumor cell antigenicity. In in vivo studies using immunodeficient mice, the peptide injected i...
متن کاملCTL adoptive immunotherapy concurrently mediates tumor regression and tumor escape.
Tumor escape and recurrence are major impediments for successful immunotherapy. It is well-documented that the emergence of Ag-loss variants, as well as regulatory mechanisms suppressing T cell function, have been linked to inadequate antitumor activity. However, little is known regarding the role of Fas-mediated cytotoxicity by tumor-specific CD8(+) CTL in causing immune evasion of Fas resista...
متن کاملRadiation-induced, Immunologically Mediated Regression of an Established Tumor as an Example of Successful Therapeutic Immunomanipulation
It was shown several years ago by Hellstrom et al . (1) that sublethal x irradiation of mice bearing palpable syngeneic tumors can result in partial or complete tumor regression . These same authors showed, in addition, that the therapeutic effect of irradiation depended on the tumors being above a certain size, and that regression failed to occur if the mice were infused, immediately after irr...
