Tumor associated antigens isolated from maxillary cancer cells.

Tumor-associated antigens in breast cancer.

The targets for the immune system are antigens present on cancer cells; however, many are not cancer-specific and may also be found on normal tissues. These antigens are often products of mutated cellular genes, aberrantly expressed normal genes, or genes encoding viral proteins. Vaccines constitute an active and specific immunotherapy designed to stimulate the intrinsic antitumor immune respon...

Inhibition of cell-mediated cytotoxicity against tumor-associated antigens by suppressor cells from tumor-bearing mice.

Spleen cells from mice bearing primary tumours induced by Moloney strain of murine sarcoma virus (M-MuSV) strongly inhibited the in vitro generation of specific secondary cell-mediated cytotoxic response of spleen cells from M-MusV regressor mice. These suppressor cells were resistant to treatment with anti-theta serum and complement or to X-irradiation. It appeared that suppressor cells may ha...

Tumor-Associated Antigens for Specific Immunotherapy of Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common noncutaneous cancer diagnosis and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in the United States. Effective treatment modalities for advanced metastatic PCa are limited. Immunotherapeutic strategies based on T cells and antibodies represent interesting approaches to prevent progression from localized to advanced PCa and to improve survi...
