Trastuzumab activates allogeneic or autologous antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity against malignant rhabdoid tumor cells and interleukin-2 augments the cytotoxicity.
PURPOSE Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is an early childhood cancer with poor prognosis. Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), has been shown to be effective against breast cancer and other cancers. We investigated the effect of trastuzumab on MRT cell lines. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We examined expression of HER-2 on four MRT cell l...
متن کاملLapatinib enhances trastuzumab-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity via upregulation of HER2 in malignant mesothelioma cells
EGFR/HER2 are frequently expressed in MPM tissues, however, no studies have shown the clinical benefit of using EGFR/HER2-targeting drugs in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). It was reported that the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) lapatinib enhanced trastuzumab-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) in HER2-positive breast cancer, suggesting that this combin...
متن کاملRituximab-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity against neoplastic B cells is stimulated strongly by interleukin-2.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We analyzed the sensitivity of freshly isolated neoplastic B cells to rituximab-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), using different effector cells. DESIGN AND METHODS ADCC was performed by 51Cr release assays in vitro, using peripheral blood mononuclear cells, IL-2-activated or expanded NK cells, neutrophils or macrophages as effector cells. B l...
متن کاملT-cell-mediated cytotoxicity against autologous malignant melanoma: analysis with interleukin 2-dependent T-cell cultures.
The cytotoxic reactivity of lymphocytes for autologous melanoma cells was studied in a group of 13 melanoma patients. No cytotoxicity was observed with lymphocytes freshly isolated from peripheral blood or with lymphocytes cocultured for 7 days with autologous melanoma cells. Growth of lymphocytes previously sensitized with autologous melanoma in vitro in interleukin 2 (IL-2)-containing medium,...
متن کاملAntibody-Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity against Reactivated HIV-1-Infected Cells.
UNLABELLED Lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV-1 does not diminish the established latent reservoir. A possible cure approach is to reactivate the quiescent genome from latency and utilize immune responses to eliminate cells harboring reactivated HIV-1. It is not known whether antibodies within HIV-1-infected individuals can recognize and eliminate cells reactivated from latency throu...
