A Gene Encoding Antigenic Peptides of Human Squamous Cell Carcinoma Recognized by Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes
Except for melanomas, tumor antigens recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are yet unidentified. We have identified a gene encoding antigenic peptides of human squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) recognized by human histocompatibility leukocyte antigens (HLA)- A2601-restricted CTLs. This gene showed no similarity to known sequences, and encoded two (125- and 43-kilodalton [kD]) proteins. The...
متن کاملHuman tumor antigens recognized by T lymphocytes
W e have come a long way since the identification of the first human tumor antigen recognized by autologous CTL. This report provides a brief appraisal of these antigens and their potential for cancer immunotherapy. Our comments will be restricted to nonviral antigens. The initial work carried out on mouse tumors revealed two possible mechanisms for generating new antigens that might be suflfic...
متن کاملNature of the antigenic complex recognized by T lymphocytes II. T-cell activation by direct modification of macrophage histocompatibility antigens
In order to analyze the molecular structures involved in T-cell recognition we developed an in vitro primary response against alloantisera bound to histocompatibility antigens in which nonimmune guinea pig T cells can be sensitized and subsequently challenged in tissue culture with antisera-treated macrophages. If macrophages were incubated with alloantisera directed against the I-region-associ...
متن کاملMelanocortin 1 Receptor-derived peptides are efficiently recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes from melanoma patients.
BACKGROUND Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) is expressed in a majority of melanoma biopsies and cell lines. We previously demonstrated that three hydrophobic low-affinity HLA-A2-restricted MC1R-derived peptides: MC1R291-298, MC1R244-252 and MC1R283-291 can elicit cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) responses from normal donor peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). Moreover, peptide-specific CTL recognized...
متن کاملMass spectrometric identification of a naturally processed melanoma peptide recognized by CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes
We and others have previously reported that melanoma-specific, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) define a minimum of six class I-presented peptide epitopes common to most HLA-A2+ melanomas. Here we show that three of these peptide epitopes are coordinately recognized by a CTL clone obtained by limiting dilution from the peripheral blood of an HLA-A2+ melanoma patient. Tandem mass spectrometry was u...
