Cytotoxic T lymphocytes directed against a tumor-specific mutated antigen display similar HLA tetramer binding but distinct functional avidity and tissue distribution.
We have previously identified an antigen (Ag) recognized on a human large cell carcinoma of the lung by a tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte clone derived from autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). The antigenic peptide is presented by HLA-A2 molecules and is encoded by a mutated alpha-actinin-4 (ACTN4) gene. In the present report, we have isolated two anti-alpha-actinin-4 T cell...
متن کاملHigh efficiency TCR gene transfer into primary human lymphocytes affords avid recognition of melanoma tumor antigen glycoprotein 100 and does not alter the recognition of autologous melanoma antigens.
The alpha- and beta-chains of the TCR from a highly avid anti-gp100 CTL clone were isolated and used to construct retroviral vectors that can mediate high efficiency gene transfer into primary human lymphocytes. Expression of this TCR gene was confirmed by Western blot analysis, immunocytometric analysis, and HLA Ag tetramer staining. Gene transfer efficiencies of >50% into primary lymphocytes ...
متن کاملInvestigation of NK Cell Population in Peripheral Blood and Tumor Lesions of Patients with Breast Cancer
Background: Alteration in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) is usually investigated to provide an evidence of the host immune responses to tumor antigens. The tumor infiltrating NK cells interact most closely with the tumor cells and more accurately reflect tumor host interactions. Objective: To analyze peripheral blood and tumor associated Natural Killer (NK) cells in patients with breast ca...
متن کاملLoss of CTL function among high-avidity tumor-specific CD8+ T cells following tumor infiltration.
A major problem in generating effective antitumor CTL responses is that most tumors express self-antigens to which the immune system is rendered unresponsive due to mechanisms of self-tolerance induction. CTL precursors (CTLp) expressing high-affinity T-cell receptors (TCR) are often functionally deleted from the repertoire, leaving a residual repertoire of CTLp having only low-affinity TCR. Fu...
متن کاملWild Type p53 Gene Transfer Increases Chemosensitivity and Apoptotic Response of PANC-1 Pancreatic Tumor Cell Line
The effect of p53 gene therapy on chemosensitivity and apoptotic response of PANC-1 tumor cells, which express high amount of mutant p53, to cancer chemotherapeutic agents of Etoposide and Doxorubicin was investigated. Comparison of the chemosensitivity of PANC-1 cells to its wild type p53 transfectants showed that wt-p53 expressing transfectants are more sensitive to both Etoposide and Doxorub...
