1 9850054 The CD8+ T cells generated in such cocultures also recognized the MART-1(27-35) peptide, AAGIGILTV, in 4-h cytotoxicity assays.
2 12947333 CD40L augments DC IL-12 secretion and is essential to potentiate specific antimelanoma cytolytic responses stimulated by the Mart-1 antigen. sCD40L should be considered a crucial adjuvant in DC preparations for RNA-based DC vaccine therapies.
3 15149168 We conclude that repeated vaccination with Melan-A peptide in IFA frequently leads to sustained responses of specific CD8 T cells that are detectable ex vivo and correlate with inflammatory skin reactions.
4 16971810 Two of 3 patients showed improved immune function after vaccinations demonstrated by improved secretion of interferon (IFN)-gamma or T-cell proliferation in response to MART-1 derived peptides.
5 17471170 In 2 cases, the response was directed against MART-1(26-35) and consisted of 0.2% and 3.3% of the CD8 population; however, in both instances these cells did not produce interferon-gamma on stimulation with the unmodified peptide.
6 17602511 DC loaded with these conjugates, but not with the lactose-Melan-A conjugate, led to an efficient presentation of the Melan-A epitope eliciting a CD8+ T-lymphocyte response.
7 17898045 This correlated with increased frequencies of IFN-gamma-secreting antigen-specific cells and augmented lysis of gp100+/MART-1+ melanoma targets.
8 18828018 The MART-1-specific T-cell clone expressed NKG-2D and was fully capable of releasing both perforin and Granzyme B.
9 19199830 Competition experiments demonstrate weaker binding by Hsp70 of antigenic peptides derived from the tumor-associated proteins tyrosinase (K(d) = 32 microm) and melanoma antigen recognized by T cells (MART-1) (K(d) = 2.4 microm).
10 9072306 This peptide (AAGIGILTV) corresponds to residues 27-35 from the nonmutated melanoma-associated antigen MART-1/Melan A and is recognized by most melanoma-specific, HLA-A*0201-restricted, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.
11 9072306 To induce MART-1(27-35)-specific CTL, PBMC were incubated with 1 microM peptide (on day 0) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) (300 IU/mL, on days 1 and 4 after each stimulation).
12 9220317 In 6/6 HLA A*0201-expressing melanoma patients tested, the virally driven expression of MART-1/Melan A MAA by DC was sufficient to generate CD8+ T lymphocytes that could recognize naturally processed epitopes on tumor cells.
13 21937447 We found that anchor modification in the MART-1(27-35) antigen enhances the flexibility of both the peptide and the HLA-A*0201 molecule.
