Transient expression of the cancer/testis cancer antigen NY-ESO-1 in Nicotiana benthamiana using a PVX-based viral vector
Background Cancer/testis antigens is a group of proteins which expression is usually restricted to the human germ line but is also present at high levels in several types of cancer cells [1]. The antigen NY-ESO-1 is one of these antigens showing high immunogenicity and, therefore, holding great potential for a cancer vaccine [2]. Its heterologous expression is being tested in different expressi...
متن کاملAgroinfiltration and PVX Agroinfection in Potato and Nicotiana benthamiana
Agroinfiltration and PVX agroinfection are two efficient transient expression assays for functional analysis of candidate genes in plants. The most commonly used agent for agroinfiltration is Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a pathogen of many dicot plant species. This implies that agroinfiltration can be applied to many plant species. Here, we present our protocols and expected results when applying...
متن کاملNY-ESO-1 expression and immunogenicity in esophageal cancer.
PURPOSE Although NY-ESO-1 was isolated from an esophageal carcinoma patient, its expression in this type of cancer and its immunogenicity in esophageal cancer patients have not yet been fully elucidated. We report here the frequency of NY-ESO-1 mRNA and protein expression in esophageal cancer and the presence of NY-ESO-1-specific immune response in patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN One hundred tw...
متن کاملTransient Expression of Hemagglutinin Antigen from Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza A (H7N7) in Nicotiana benthamiana
The influenza A virus is of global concern for the poultry industry, especially the H5 and H7 subtypes as they have the potential to become highly pathogenic for poultry. In this study, the hemagglutinin (HA) of a low pathogenic avian influenza virus of the H7N7 subtype isolated from a Swedish mallard Anas platyrhynchos was sequenced, characterized and transiently expressed in Nicotiana bentham...
متن کاملNY-ESO-1 expression in sarcomas
NY-ESO-1 (CTAG 1B) is highly expressed in the majority of synovial sarcomas and myxoid/round cell liposarcomas as well as in a subset of melanomas, but only rarely in other mesenchymal tumors. This points to a potential for using NY-ESO-1 in the differential diagnosis of these lesions. Furthermore, promising results have been obtained in clinical trials testing NY-ESO-1-targeted immunotherapy i...
