1 11980655 Thus, the identification of the naturally processed HLA-DR7-restricted hTRT epitope, together with the previous finding of class I-restricted hTRT epitopes, provide a basis for the combined application of class I- and II-restricted hTRT epitopes to induce potent, long-term CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses against a broad spectrum of tumors.
2 15749921 Moreover, CTL-mediated killing of hTERT targets was enhanced in the LAMP hTERT group, suggesting that an improved CD4+ response could augment a CTL response.
3 19102213 The HLA-A2-specific nonapeptides as hTERT derived from catalytic subunit of telomerase and MUC1 derived from mucin protein can be used.
4 19298672 The capacity of the DCs to induce functional CD8+ T cell responses to hTERT HLA-0201 restricted nonapeptides was assessed by MHC tetramer binding and peptide-specific cytotoxicity.
5 19298672 (i) DCTIs and DCTs, pulsed with hTERT peptides, were comparable (p = 0.45, t-test) in inducing peptide-specific CD8+ T cell responses.
6 19029834 Our previous study demonstrated that the reduction of hTERT expression by means of chemically synthesized siRNAs and shRNAs expressed from plasmid resulted in proliferation inhibition in human renal carcinoma cells.
7 21573500 These results suggest that suicide genes HSV-TK and NTR mediated by a single adenovirus vector under the control of an enhanced hTERT promoter results in additive anti-tumor effects and may provide a relatively safe strategy for the treatment of breast cancer by tumor-specific targeting.
8 19003246 Human and murine model systems demonstrate that CD8(+) cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) and CD4(+) helper T-lymphocytes can recognize dominant epitopes derived from TERT.
