Lentivirus-transduced human monocyte-derived dendritic cells efficiently stimulate antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells that are highly effective adjuvants for immunizing against pathogens and tumor antigens. The potential merit of genetic approaches to loading DCs with antigens is to express high and sustained levels of proteins that can be subsequently processed and presented to T lymphocytes. Replication-defective oncoretroviruses are able to eff...
متن کاملIdentification of HLA-DP3-restricted peptides from EBNA1 recognized by CD4(+) T cells.
The EBV-encoded nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) is required for the maintenance and replication of the viral episome in EBV-transformed human B-lymphoblastoid cell lines. It is expressed in all EBV-associated tumors, making it a potentially important target for immunotherapy. However, this promise has not been realized, because an endogenously processed MHC class I-restricted T-cell epitope remains t...
متن کاملDendritic cells transduced with full-length wild-type p53 generate antitumor cytotoxic T lymphocytes from peripheral blood of cancer patients.
Accumulation of wild-type or mutant p53 protein occurs in approximately 50% of human malignancies. This overexpression may generate antigenic epitopes recognized by CTLs. Because normal cells have undetectable levels of p53, these CTLs are likely to be tumor specific. Here, for the first time, we test the hypothesis that full-length wild-type p53 protein can be used for generation of an immune ...
متن کاملTargeting Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) through the class II pathway restores immune recognition by EBNA1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes: evidence for HLA-DM-independent processing.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) is the only viral protein consistently expressed in all malignancies associated with EBV and there is now convincing evidence to suggest that EBNA1 is not recognized by MHC class I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). The lack of recognition of EBNA1 has been attributed to a cis-acting inhibitory effect of glycine-alanine repetitive (G-Ar)...
متن کاملGeneration of melanoma-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes by dendritic cells transduced with a MART-1 adenovirus.
Dendritic cells (DC) are potent stimulators of primary T cell responses. In this study, we demonstrate that DC, genetically engineered to express the MART-1/Melan-A (MART-1) tumor-associated Ag, express MART-1 mRNA and protein, correctly process and present the HLA-A2.1-restricted immunodominant MART-1 peptide (MART-1(27-35)), and serve as potent stimulators of MART-1-specific CTL in vitro. A r...
