The antigen specific composition of melanoma tumor infiltrating lymphocytes?
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Studies of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from a human choroidal melanoma.
Cell suspensions prepared enzymatically from an ocular choroidal melanoma were cultured in vitro in an effort to generate (1) melanoma tumor cell lines and (2) tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes cytotoxic for ocular melanoma cells. Even though histologic study of the tumor did not show "significant" infiltrating bone marrow-derived cells, lymphocytes were generated readily in cultures to which inte...
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 کاملIncreased NY-ESO-1 Expression and Reduced Infiltrating CD3+ T Cells in Cutaneous Melanoma
NY-ESO-1 is a cancer-testis antigen aberrantly expressed in melanomas, which may serve as a robust and specific target in immunotherapy. NY-ESO-1 antigen expression, tumor features, and the immune profile of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were assessed in primary cutaneous melanoma. NY-ESO-1 protein was detected in 20% of invasive melanomas (16/79), rarely in in situ melanoma (1/10) and not in ...
متن کاملfrom a Patient Responding to Immunotherapy Recognition of Tyrosinase by Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocytes
The observation that allogeneic melanoma cells matched for particular HLA class I alleles stimulate T-cells belated from patients suggests that widely shared antigens exist on these tumors. A transient expression system was developed for screening a melanoma complementary DNA library using the highly transfectable human kidney cell line 293. Using this system, large numbers of complementary DNA...
متن کاملIdentification of the immunodominant peptides of the MART-1 human melanoma antigen recognized by the majority of HLA-A2-restricted tumor infiltrating lymphocytes
Four melanoma proteins, MART-1, gp100, tyrosinase, and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (gp75) were evaluated for recognition by HLA-A2-restricted melanoma-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) derived from the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) of 10 different patients. 9 of 10 TIL recognized MART-1, 4 recognized gp100 (including 3 that also recognized MART-1), but none of the TIL recognized t...
