Tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity determines colorectal cancer patient prognosis.
The composition of tumor-targeted T cell infiltrates is a major prognostic factor in colorectal cancer (CRC) outcome; however, the functional role of these populations in prolonging patient survival remains unclear. Here, we evaluated 190 patients with CRC for the presence of functionally active tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), the tumor specificity of these TILs, and the correlation betw...
متن کاملCRTAM determines the CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte lineage
Naive T cells differentiate into various effector T cells, including CD4(+) helper T cell subsets and CD8(+) cytotoxic T cells (CTL). Although cytotoxic CD4(+) T cells (CD4 +: CTL) also develop from naive T cells, the mechanism of development is elusive. We found that a small fraction of CD4(+) T cells that express class I-restricted T cell-associated molecule (CRTAM) upon activation possesses ...
متن کاملAntitumor activity of antibody against cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitope peptide of lymphocyte‐specific protein tyrosine kinase
Although humoral responses against CTL epitope peptides from lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck) antigen have been observed in the majority of healthy donors and cancer patients, the biological activity of the antibody has not been determined. We investigated the biological activity of mAb against CTL epitope peptide of Lck antigen at positions 486-494 (anti-Lck-486 mAb). This mAb...
متن کاملSING: a novel strategy for identifying tumor-specific, cytotoxic T lymphocyte-recognized tumor antigens
Traditional methods for identifying T cell-recognized tumor antigens (Ags) are laborious and time-consuming. In an attempt to simplify the procedure, a novel strategy, SING (SIgnal transduction molecule-mediated, NFAT-controlled, GFP expression) was established as a direct approach for cloning T cell-recognized tumor Ags. In the SING system, a mouse T cell line (BW5147) was transduced with a ch...
متن کاملdoes the prognosis of colorectal cancer vary with tumor site?
aim : the aim of this study was to compare prognostic factors between colon and rectal cancers. background : prognosis of colorectal cancer (crc) may depend on the anatomical site. patients and methods : a total of 1219 patients with crc diagnosis according to the pathology report of rcgld cancer registry, from 1 january 2002 to 1 october 2007, were entered into the study. demographic and clini...
