Identification of Tyrosinase-related Protein 2 as a Tumor Rejection Antigen for the B16 Melanoma
Recently, major advances have been made in the identification of antigens from human melanoma which are recognized by T cells. In spite of this, little is known about the optimal ways to use these antigens to treat patients with cancer. Progress in this area is likely to require accurate preclinical animal models, but the availability of such models has lagged behind developments in human tumor...
متن کاملExpression of VLA-2, VLA-3, and alpha(v) integrin receptors in uveal melanoma: association with microvascular architecture of the tumour and prognostic value.
BACKGROUND The interaction of the integrin receptors with their ligands (collagen, laminin, fibronectin, and others) has a crucial role during the reorganisation of the extracellular matrix and the metastatic process. The presence of particular vascular patterns in uveal melanoma is associated with the development of metastases. There is some evidence that interactions between the tumour cells ...
متن کاملIdentification of Preferentially Expressed Antigen of Melanoma as a Potential Tumor Suppressor in Lung Adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND Preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (PRAME) is known as a tumor-associated antigen that is altered in a variety of malignancies, including lung cancer. However, the role of PRAME in lung cancer remains unclear. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed the expression of PRAME in human lung adenocarcinomas and studied the function of PRAME using small interfering RNA (siRNA)-induced g...
متن کاملIdentification of integrin collagen receptors on human melanoma cells.
Integrin receptors may mediate the adhesion of cells to a number of extracellular matrix components. We found that the attachment of human melanoma cells to collagen types I and IV was blocked by antibodies to the integrin beta 1 subunit but not by peptides containing the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence. Ligand affinity chromatography was used to search for integrin-related receptors which mediate adhesio...
متن کاملIdentification of DRG-1 As a Melanoma-Associated Antigen Recognized by CD4+ Th1 Cells
Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. Clinical studies have demonstrated the feasibility of cancer immunotherapy using tumor antigens recognized by CD8(+) T cells. However, the overall immune responses induced by these antigens are too weak and transient to induce tumor regression in the majority of patients who received immunization. A grow...
