Active induction of tumor-specific IgE antibodies by oral mimotope vaccination.
A role of IgE antibodies in cancer surveillance has been implicated for a long time. Studies dealing with IgE antibodies directly targeted to tumor antigens have shown marked anticancer effects mediated by this antibody class. Thus, the basic function of IgE antibodies may be to control tumor growth. Thus far, cancer-specific IgE has only been applied passively. Consequently, the aim of this st...
متن کاملMimotope vaccination for epitope-specific induction of anti-VEGF antibodies
CD20 is expressed strictly by B-cells and is ubiquitously expressed at high surface densities of malignant human B-cells. This suggests that CD20 may be a tumor target for immunotherapy of B-cell lymphomas. Rituximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against CD20, has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and some autoimmune diseases. In the curr...
متن کاملEpitope-specific antibody response to IgE by mimotope immunization.
We have previously described a mouse monoclonal anti-human IgE antibody (BSW17) capable of recognizing receptor-bound IgE without inducing mediator release from human basophils or mast cells. Moreover, immune complexes of IgE and BSW17 are not able to bind to the IgE receptor. An initial attempt to map the precise epitope recognized by this mAb by using Fc epsilon-derived peptides of variable l...
متن کاملAugmenting antitumor T-cell responses to mimotope vaccination by boosting with native tumor antigens.
Vaccination with antigens expressed by tumors is one strategy for stimulating enhanced T-cell responses against tumors. However, these peptide vaccines rarely result in efficient expansion of tumor-specific T cells or responses that protect against tumor growth. Mimotopes, or peptide mimics of tumor antigens, elicit increased numbers of T cells that crossreact with the native tumor antigen, res...
متن کاملInduction of broadly neutralizing H1N1 influenza antibodies by vaccination.
The rapid dissemination of the 2009 pandemic influenza virus underscores the need for universal influenza vaccines that elicit protective immunity to diverse viral strains. Here, we show that vaccination with plasmid DNA encoding H1N1 influenza hemagglutinin (HA) and boosting with seasonal vaccine or replication-defective adenovirus 5 vector encoding HA stimulated the production of broadly neut...
