A new tumor-rejection antigen recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes infiltrating into a lung adenocarcinoma.
Lung cancer is the most commonly occurring malignancy worldwide and one of the few that continues to show an increasing incidence. To understand the molecular basis of host immunity against lung cancer, we investigated tumor antigens recognized by HLA-A24-restricted CTLs established from T cells infiltrating into lung adenocarcinoma and report a new gene coding for antigens recognized by the CT...
متن کاملA mutated beta-catenin gene encodes a melanoma-specific antigen recognized by tumor infiltrating lymphocytes
A number of antigens recognized by tumor-reactive T cells have recently been identified. The antigens identified in mouse model systems appear, with one exception, to represent the products of mutated genes. In contrast, most of the antigens recognized by human tumor-reactive T cells reported to date appear to represent the products of non-mutated genes. Here we report the isolation of a cDNA c...
متن کاملMelanocyte lineage-specific antigen gp100 is recognized by melanoma- derived tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes
We recently isolated a cDNA clone that encodes the melanocyte lineage-specific antigen glycoprotein (gp)100. Antibodies directed against gp100 are an important tool in the diagnosis of human melanoma. Since the gp100 antigen is highly expressed in melanocytic cells, we investigated whether this antigen might serve as a target for antimelanoma cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Here, we demonstrate ...
متن کاملThe antigen specific composition of melanoma tumor infiltrating lymphocytes?
Large numbers of tumor associated antigens has been characterized, but only a minor fraction of these are recognized by tumor infiltrating lymphocytes of melanoma, although these have shown the ability to recognize tumor and provide tumor regression upon adoptive transfer. Thus the peptide recognition of the majority of the CD8 tumor infiltrating lymphocytes remains to be identified.
متن کاملIsolation of a new melanoma antigen, MART-2, containing a mutated epitope recognized by autologous tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes.
Using cDNA expression cloning, a cDNA encoding a novel human melanoma Ag, MART-2 (melanoma Ag recognized by T cells-2), recognized by HLA-A1-restricted CD8(+) T cells from tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL1362) was isolated from an autologous melanoma cell line, 1362 mel. Homologous sequences to the cDNA had been registered in the EST database. This gene encoded an uncharacterized protein exp...
