1 21868578 WT1 peptide vaccinations of healthy donor mice induced CD8(+) T cells that were specifically reactive to WT1-expressing FBL3 leukemia cells.
2 17505014 The emergence of WT1(+) CD8(+) T cells was associated with a decrease in WT1 expression, suggesting a WT1-driven GVL effect.
3 17505014 WT1(+) CD8(+) T cells had a predominantly effector-memory phenotype (CD45RO(+) CD27(-)CD57(+)) and produced IFN-gamma.
4 18502835 We evaluated WT1 as an immunotherapeutic target using our proven DNA fusion vaccine design, p.DOM-peptide, encoding a minimal tumor-derived major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-binding epitope downstream of a foreign sequence of tetanus toxin.
5 19797418 We monitored the kinetics of lymphocytes, natural killer cells, monocytes, dendritic cells (DC), human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-multimer conjugated with CMV or WT1 peptide, and intracellular cytokine production of interferon-gamma and interleukin-4 by flow cytometry.
6 20619457 Here we determined the structures of the class I MHC molecule HLA-A*0201 bound to the native 126-134 epitope of the WT1 peptide and a recently described variant (R1Y) with improved MHC binding.
7 20619457 Stability measurements revealed how the R1Y substitution enhances MHC binding affinity, and together with the structures suggest a strategy for engineering WT1 variants with improved MHC binding that retain the structural features of the native peptide/MHC complex.
8 21682329 WT1 peptide 427 induces human CD4 T cell responses in the context of multiple human HLA-DR.B1 molecules, but the peptide has a poor binding affinity to BALB/c mouse MHC class II molecules.
9 20400682 Three patients who were HLA-A0201-positive showed significant increase in interferon-gamma-secreting cells and frequency of WT1 tetramer-positive CD8+ T cells.
10 21821799 In contrast, allo-HLA-restricted WT1 clones exhibited profound functional reactivity against a multitude of HLA-A*02-positive targets, even in the absence of exogenously loaded WT1 peptide, indicative of Ag-binding promiscuity.
11 21821799 In contrast, the allo-HLA-restricted WT1-reactive clones recognized besides WT1 various other HLA-A*0201-binding peptides.
