156 14748438 For these purposes, we have used two oncogenic cell lines induced independently by co-transfection of murine H-2b cells with E61E7 HPV16 and activated Ha-ras oncogenes, the tumours TC-1 (MHC class I+, HPV16 E7+) and E7+).
157 14748438 Preimmunization with the MHC class I+ tumour did not protect against a subsequent challenge with the MHC class I- tumour and vice versa; however, immunization with the TC-1 tumour could protect syngeneic mice against the TC-1 tumour challenge and, similarly, immunization with the MK16/1/IIIABC tumour could protect mice against the MK16/1/IIIABC tumour challenge.

160 14764678 DC release abundant MHC class I/peptide complexes transferred within exosomes to other naive DC for efficient CD8(+) T cell priming in vitro; 2). exosomes require nature's adjuvants (mature DC) to efficiently promote the differentiation of melanoma-specific effector T lymphocytes producing IFN-gamma (Tc1) effector lymphocytes in HLA-A2 transgenic mice (HHD2).
161 14971031 Dendritic cells generated in the presence of GM-CSF plus IL-15 prime potent CD8+ Tc1 responses in vivo.
162 14971031 DC progenitors can be stimulated to differentiate into immature DC by various growth factors, including GM-CSF and IL-4.
163 14971031 Here we show that IL-15, in combination with GM-CSF, is a growth factor for murine DC.
164 14971031 Murine bone marrow cells, depleted of T cells, B cells, I-A+ cells and Gr-1+ granulocytes, and cultured in the presence of GM-CSF plus IL-15 (IL-15 DC), yielded DC expressing high levels of CD11c and MHC class II molecules, as well as CD11b.
165 14971031 These cells expressed significant levels of CD40, CD80 and CD86, and could stimulate allogeneic CD4+ T cells efficiently.
166 14971031 Interestingly, IL-15 DC were far superior to DC generated with GM-CSF plus IL-4 in stimulating allogeneic CD8+ T cells in vitro.
167 14971031 Consistent with this, IL-15 DC induced much more potent antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses with high levels of Th1 cytokines in vivo, compared to DC generated with GM-CSF plus IL-4, or with GM-CSF plus TGF-beta, or with GM-CSF alone.
168 14971031 Together, these data suggest that IL-15 promotes the development of DC, which induce potent Th1 and Tc1 responses in vivo.
169 14985791 These strategies include the use of the sorting signal of lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP-1), Mycobacterium tuberculosis heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70), calreticulin (CRT) and the translocation domain (dII) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (ETA).
170 14985791 Vaccination with DNA vaccines encoding E7 antigen linked to any of these molecules all led to a significant enhancement of E7-specific CD8(+) T-cell immune responses and strong antitumor effects against an E7-expressing tumor, TC-1.
171 15067049 A Toll-like receptor 2 ligand stimulates Th2 responses in vivo, via induction of extracellular signal-regulated kinase mitogen-activated protein kinase and c-Fos in dendritic cells.
172 15067049 Thus, Escherichia coli LPS (TLR-4 stimulus), activates DCs to produce abundant IL-12(p70), but little IL-10, and stimulates Th1 and Tc1 responses.
173 15067049 In contrast, Pam-3-cys (TLR-2 stimulus) elicits less IL-12(p70), but abundant IL-10, and favors Th2 and T cytotoxic 2 (Tc2) responses.
174 15067049 Thus, Pam-3-cys induces enhanced extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling, compared with LPS, resulting in suppressed IL-12(p70) and enhanced IL-10 production, as well as enhanced induction of the transcription factor, c-Fos.
175 15067049 Interestingly, DCs from c-fos(-/-) mice produce more IL-12(p70), but less IL-10, compared with control DCs.
176 15214037 A naked Sindbis RNA replicon vector (SINrep5) encoding the herpes simplex virus type 1 protein VP22 linked to E7 (SINrep5-VP22/E7) generated significant antitumor effects against TC-1 and TC-1 P3(A15), tumors with down-regulated MHC class I expression.
177 15280455 We previously developed DNA vaccines encoding calreticulin (CRT) linked to HPV-16 E7 and generated potent E7-specific CD8(+) T-cell immune responses and antitumor effects against an E7-expressing tumor.
178 15280455 Our results indicated that the CRT/E6 DNA vaccine, but not a wild-type E6 DNA vaccine, generated significant E6-specific CD8(+) T-cell immune responses in vaccinated mice.
179 15280455 Vaccination with a CRT/E6 but not a CRT/mtE6 (lacking aa 50 to 57 of E6) DNA vaccine could protect vaccinated mice from challenge with E6-expressing TC-1 tumors.
180 15496603 FN had higher numbers and percentages of memory/effector (M/E) cytotoxic/suppressor (CD45R0(+)CD8(+), RMA) T, Fas(+) M/E (CD45R0(+)CD95(+)CD3(+), 6 mo) T, and CD56(+)CD16(-) NK cells (CD56(+)CD16(-)CD3(-)CD8(-), 12 mo), and higher percentages of M/E helper (CD45R0(+)CD4(+), RMA) T, Tc1 (IFN gamma(+)CD4(-)CD3(+), RMA), total interferon (IFN)gamma T (IFN gamma(+)CD4(+/-)CD3(+), RMA), Th2 (IL-4(+)CD4(+)CD3(+), 7 mo), and CD57(+) NK-T cells (CD57(+)CD56(-)CD3(+), 6 mo, 7 mo) compared with F.
181 15496603 Percentages of naive helper T (CD45RA(+)CD4(+), 12 mo) and numbers and percentages of CD56(+) NK-T cells (CD56(+)CD16(-)CD3(+)CD8(-), 2 mo, 6 mo) were lower in FN than F.
182 15496603 Percentages of M/E cytotoxic/suppressor, Th2, and CD56(+)CD16(-) NK cells in FN were significantly higher than F but were not different from HMF, whereas F was significantly lower than HMF.
183 15530672 Injection of a mixture of the synthetic HPV16-E7 protein and the synthetic adjuvant CpG in mice resulted in strong functional HPV16-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses as measured by CD8+ MHC class I-tetramer staining, the detection of antigen-specific intracellular IFNgamma production and the ability to protect mice against a challenge with HPV16-E7+ TC-1 tumour cells in both prophylactic and therapeutic vaccination regimens.
184 15542183 Cytotoxicity and interferon-gamma assays showed that spleenocytes from immunized animals were able to recognize and lyze E7 expressing tumor TC-1 cells.
185 15553669 Monocytes were separated from the peripheral blood collected by leukapheresis, and were cultured with GM-CSF and IL-4 for 6 days.
186 15553669 Then, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6 and PGE2 were added for maturation of DC.
187 15553669 Th1/Th2 and Tc1/Tc2 balances improved in six of the nine patients after vaccination.
188 15553669 In this study, it was shown that immunosuppressive factors, such as IAP and TGF-beta, and Th1 balance are useful as markers of immunomonitoring for tumor-DC fusion vaccine in patients with advanced or recurrent gastrointestinal patients.
189 15926077 The Bordetella adenylate cyclase toxoid (CyaA) targets cells expressing the alphaMbeta2 integrin receptor CD11b/CD18 (CR3 or Mac-1) and can penetrate into cytosol of professional antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells.
190 15926077 We show here that vaccination with a genetically detoxified CyaA336/E7 protein, carrying the full-length oncoprotein E7 of the human papilloma virus 16 inserted at position 336 of the cell-invasive AC domain of CyaA, induces an E7-specific CD8+ T-cell immune response and confers on mice protective, as well as therapeutic immunity against challenge with TC-1 tumor cells expressing the E7 oncoprotein.

203 16107858 In this study, as a prelude to clinical translation, we characterized the ability of DNA-encoding calreticulin linked to DNA-encoding E7 antigen to generate HLA-A2-restricted E7-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses in HLA-A2 (AAD) transgenic mice, as well as antitumor effects against an E7(+) HLA-A2(+) tumor cell line, TC-1/A2.
204 16107858 Our results show that while vaccination with CRT/E7 DNA generates strong H-2D(b)-restricted E7 (amino acid (aa)49-57)-specific CD8(+) T-cell immune responses in both C57BL/6 and HLA-A2 (AAD) transgenic mice, no such responses were generated to HLA-A2-restricted epitopes in either type of mouse.
205 16107858 More importantly, vaccination with CRT/mtE7 (del aa49-57) DNA protects against a lethal challenge with TC-1/A2 tumor cells in HLA-A2 (AAD) transgenic mice.
206 16107858 Thus, the predominant E7 aa49-57-specific CD8+ T-cell immune response in HLA-A2 transgenic mice vaccinated with CRT/E7 is likely due to preferred expansion of E7 aa49-57-specific CD8(+) T cells in vaccinated mice.

211 16138121 We tested the role of replication-incompetent recombinant herpes simplex virus (HSV) d106 lacking all immediate early genes except ICP0 in the generation of apoptotic cells for tumor vaccination, using ID8-VEGF, a syngeneic mouse model of ovarian carcinoma expressing high levels of VEGF, and TC-1, a human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E6- and E7-transformed adenocarcinoma.
212 16200349 These strategies include the use of the sorting signal of lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP-1), Mycobacterium tuberculosis heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), calreticulin (CRT) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) VP22 proteins.
213 16200349 In the current study, we have characterized DNA vaccines employing these intracellular targeting or intercellular spreading strategies targeting HPV-16 E6 for their ability to generate E6-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses and antitumor effects against an E6-expressing tumor cell line, TC-1, in C57BL/6 mice.
214 16200349 We found that all the intracellular targeting strategies (CRT, LAMP-1, HSP70) as well as the intercellular spreading strategy (VP22) were able to enhance E6 DNA vaccine potency, although the orientation of HSP70 linked to E6 antigen in the E6 DNA vaccine appears to be important for the HSP70 strategy to work.
215 16200349 The enhanced E6-specific CD8+ T cell immune response in vaccinated mice also translated into potent antitumor effects against TC-1 tumor cells.
216 16200349 These strategies include the use of the sorting signal of lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP-1), Mycobacterium tuberculosis heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), calreticulin (CRT) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) VP22 proteins.

220 16207532 Experimental approaches to mediate GVT effects while limiting GVHD include: (1) allograft T cell depletion followed by immune enhancement; (2) modulation of T cell dose or T cell subset composition; (3) donor lymphocyte infusion; (4) reduced-intensity host preparation; (5) modulation of Th1/Th2 and Tc1/Tc2 cell balance; (6) cytokine therapy or neutralization; (7) T regulatory cell therapy; (8) co-stimulatory pathway modulation; (9) chemokine pathway modulation; (10) induction of antigen-specific T cells; (11) alloreactive NK cell therapy; and (12) targeted pharmaceutical inhibition of proteosome, mammalian target of rapamycin, and histone deacetylase pathways.
221 16306600 Th-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte chimeric epitopes extended by Nepsilon-palmitoyl lysines induce herpes simplex virus type 1-specific effector CD8+ Tc1 responses and protect against ocular infection.
222 16306600 As a model antigen, the HSV-1 glycoprotein B498-505 (gB498-505) CD8+ CTL epitope was synthesized in line with the Pan DR peptide (PADRE), a universal CD4+ Th epitope.
223 16306600 The palmitoyl-tailed Th-CTL chimeric epitopes provoked cell surface expression of major histocompatibility complex and costimulatory molecules and production of interleukin-12 and tumor necrosis factor alpha proinflammatory cytokines by immature dendritic cells.
224 16308571 Here, we show that plasmid DNA vaccination with a cassette encoding antigen (OVA) and a second cassette encoding full-length CD40 ligand (CD40L), a molecule expressed on activated CD4+ T lymphocytes and critical for T cell helper function, can elicit significant titers of antigen-specific immunoglobulins in serum and Tc1 CD8+ T cell responses in CD4-deficient mice.
225 16308571 To investigate whether this approach leads to CD4+ T cell-independent vaccine protection against a prototypic AIDS-defining infection, Pneumocystis (PC) pneumonia, we used serum from mice vaccinated with PC-pulsed, CD40L-modified DCs to immunoprecipitate PC antigens.
226 16308571 CD4-deficient mice receiving DNA vaccines encoding Kexin and CD40L showed significantly higher anti-PC IgG titers as well as opsonic killing of PC compared with those vaccinated with Kexin alone.
227 16328003 Moderately immunogenic HPV 16-associated murine tumour cell line mimicking human HPV 16-associated neoplasms TC-1 (MHC class I(+)) and its variants, TC-1/P3C10 and TC-1/A9, with a marked down-regulation of MHC I molecules, were used to examine the effect of local interleukin 12 (IL-12) gene therapy for the treatment of early tumour transplants and minimal residual tumour disease obtained after cytoreductive chemotherapy (CMRTD).
228 16328003 It was found that peritumoral administration of IL-12-producing tumour cell vaccines (single dose, day 8 after tumour cell administration) inhibited the growth of both TC-1 (MHC class I positive) tumours and their MHC class I-deficient variants.
229 16328003 This treatment was followed by peritumoral s.c. administration of genetically modified TC-1 (MHC class I positive) or MK16/I/IIIABC (MHC class I negative) vaccines producing IL-12 (single dose, day 7 after chemotherapy) or with recombinant interleukin 12 (rIL-12) in two cycles of 5 daily doses (days 8-19) after chemotherapy.
230 16328003 This combined therapy significantly inhibited the growth of TC-1 and TC-1/A9 (MHC class I-) tumours.

252 16461338 Specifically, YF-17D activates multiple DC subsets via TLRs 2, 7, 8, and 9 to elicit the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-12p40, IL-6, and interferon-alpha.
253 16461338 Furthermore, distinct TLRs appear to differentially control the Th1/Th2 balance; thus, whilst MyD88-deficient mice show a profound impairment of Th1 cytokines, TLR2-deficient mice show greatly enhanced Th1 and Tc1 responses to YF-17D.
254 16844231 It does so by linking E7 with the sorting signal of lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (Sig/LAMP-1) to enhance the presentation of E7 antigen to MHC class I-restricted CD8(+) T cells, as well as to MHC class II-restricted CD4(+) T cells.
255 16844231 In immunological studies, DC-Sig/E7/LAMP-1 dramatically increased in vitro activation and in vivo expansion of E7-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, compared with DC-E7 and DC-No insert.
256 16844231 More importantly, in both tumor prevention and tumor treatment assays, DC-Sig/E7/LAMP-1 generated greater anti-tumor immunity against TC-1 than DC-E7.
257 16861891 Vaccine efficacy was tested in TC-1, a murine adenocarcinoma transformed with HPV16 E6 and E7, and ID8-Vegf, a murine epithelial ovarian cancer model.
258 17291642 Significant levels of IFN-gamma production by both CD4 and CD8 cells were observed along with CTL responses that were effective against both peptide-pulsed targets as well as syngeneic tumor cells (TC-1) expressing the cognate E6 and E7 proteins.
259 17291642 Furthermore, mice immunized with the peptide mixture and CT-2* effectively resisted TC-1 tumor challenge.
260 17291642 Significant levels of IFN-gamma production by both CD4 and CD8 cells were observed along with CTL responses that were effective against both peptide-pulsed targets as well as syngeneic tumor cells (TC-1) expressing the cognate E6 and E7 proteins.
261 17291642 Furthermore, mice immunized with the peptide mixture and CT-2* effectively resisted TC-1 tumor challenge.
262 17631051 Toward the development of multi-epitope p53 cancer vaccines: an in vitro assessment of CD8(+) T cell responses to HLA class I-restricted wild-type sequence p53 peptides.
263 17631051 Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from HLA-A*0201(+) and/or HLA-A*2402(+) normal donors and subjects with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) were analyzed for p53 peptide-specific reactivity in ELISPOT IFN-gamma assays.
264 17631051 CD8(+) T cells in 7/10 normal donors (HD) and 11/23 subjects with SCCHN responded to at least one of the wt p53 peptides.
265 17631051 CD8(+) T cell precursors responsive to wt p53 epitopes were detected in the circulation of most subjects with early disease, and an elevated blood Tc(1)/Tc(2) ratio distinguished wt p53 peptide responders from non-responders.
266 17785832 CD8+ T cell protective immunity against Chlamydia pneumoniae includes an H2-M3-restricted response that is largely CD4+ T cell-independent.
267 17785832 Recently, we reported that type 1 CD8+ (Tc1) from Cpn-infected B6 mice recognize peptides from multiple Cpn Ags in a classical MHC class Ia-restricted fashion.
268 17785832 H2-M3-binding peptides representing the N-terminal formylated sequences from five Cpn Ags sensitized target cells for lysis by cytolytic effectors from the spleens of infected B6 mice.
269 17785832 Of these, only peptides fMFFAPL (P1) and fMLYWFL (P4) stimulated IFN-gamma production by infection-primed splenic and pulmonary CD8+ T cells.
270 17785832 Finally, we show that in the absence of MHC class Ia-restricted CD8+ T cell responses, CD4+ T cells are largely expendable for the control of Cpn growth, and for the generation, memory maintenance, and secondary expansion of P1- and P4-specific CD8+ T cells.
271 17875726 Targeting the human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 antigen to dendritic cells with the adenylate cyclase (CyaA) of Bordetella pertussis as a vaccine vector led to potent therapeutic immune responses against TC-1 tumors in a murine model of cervical carcinoma induced by HPV.
272 17931752 Here, we show that C57BL/6 mice vaccinated with SCT-E6 DNA combined with antiapoptotic protein Bcl-xL DNA generated enhanced E6-specific CD8(+) T cell immune responses compared to mice vaccinated with SCT-E6 DNA and a non-functional mutant Bcl-xL (mtBcl-xL) DNA.
273 17931752 Furthermore, we show that mice treated with SCT-E6 and Bcl-xL DNA generated enhanced anti-tumor effects against E6-expressing tumor cells (TC-1/Luciferase) compared to mice treated with SCT-E6 and mtBcl-xL DNA.
274 18202774 In the spleens of TC-1 (MHC class I+) but not of TC-1/A9 (MHC class I-) treated tumour-bearing animals, the cytotoxic CD8+ cells detectable in 51Cr microcytotoxicity assay, were found.
275 18202774 Down-regulation of the CD4+ and CD8+ subpopulations in spleens of tumour-bearing animals were not restored after therapy.
276 18202774 The percentage of CD25+/CD4+ T regulatory (Treg) cells in lymph nodes remained unchanged.
277 18317362 Given the perceived need to augment antitumor type-1 immunity (TC1 and Th1) as a therapeutic end point, and the known functional plasticity of DC populations that may display heterogeneous capacity to promote T-cell responses, we sought to identify a preferred DC preparation with this capacity.
278 18317362 We compared 2 different preparations of monocyte-derived DC using interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) (IFN-DC and alphaDC1) with classic DCs "matured" (mDCs) using interleukin-1beta/interleukin-6/tumor necrosis factor-alpha/prostaglandin E2, for their ability to promote autologous TC1 antitumor responses from RCC patients in vitro.
279 18317362 IFN-alpha-conditioned DC promoted significantly higher numbers of RCC-specific CD8+ T cells exhibiting a cytotoxic phenotype after in vitro stimulation (IVS) than cytokine cocktail-mDCs.
280 18453624 The MHC CIITA is a master regulator of MHC class II expression and also induces expression of class I molecules.
281 18453624 Furthermore, our data suggested that coadministration of DNA-encoding calreticulin (CRT) linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E6 Ag (CRT/E6) with CIITA DNA leads to enhanced E6-specific CD8(+) T cell immune responses in vaccinated mice.
282 18453624 In addition, coadministration of the combination of CRT/E6 DNA with CIITA DNA and DNA encoding the invariant chain (Ii) linked to the pan HLA-DR-reactive epitope (Ii-PADRE) further enhanced E6-specific CD8(+) T cell immune responses in vaccinated mice.
283 18453624 Vaccination with the combination vaccine also led to enhanced E6-specific CD8(+) memory T cells and to long-term protection against TC-1 tumors and prolonged survival in vaccinated mice.
284 18453624 Thus, our findings suggest that the combination of CIITA DNA with CRT/E6 and Ii-PADRE DNA vaccines represents a potentially effective means to combat tumors in the clinical setting.
285 18463686 We observed that pretreatment with doxorubicin suppressed the E6-specific CD8+ T-cell immune responses generated by CRT/E6 DNA vaccination in vaccinated mice.
286 18463686 Furthermore, coadministration of Ii-PADRE DNA could not only reverse the suppression, but also enhanced the E6-specific CD8+ T-cell responses in CRT/E6-vaccinated mice pretreated with doxorubicin.
287 18463686 Finally, treatment with doxorubicin followed by CRT/E6 combined with Ii-PADRE DNA vaccination led to enhanced antitumor effects and prolonged survival in TC-1 tumor-bearing mice.
288 18542898 We found that the combination of treatment with bortezomib and CRT/E7(detox) DNA generated more potent E7-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses and better therapeutic effects against TC-1 tumors in tumor-bearing mice compared to monotherapy.
289 18542898 Furthermore, we found that treatment with bortezomib led to increased apoptosis of TC-1 tumor cells and could render the TC-1 tumor cells more susceptible to lysis by E7-specific CD8+ T cells.
290 18542898 We found that the combination of treatment with bortezomib and CRT/E7(detox) DNA generated more potent E7-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses and better therapeutic effects against TC-1 tumors in tumor-bearing mice compared to monotherapy.
291 18542898 Furthermore, we found that treatment with bortezomib led to increased apoptosis of TC-1 tumor cells and could render the TC-1 tumor cells more susceptible to lysis by E7-specific CD8+ T cells.
292 18598733 Our results indicated that mice bearing the E7-expressing tumor, TC-1 treated with MD5-1 monoclonal antibody followed by CRT/E7(detox) DNA vaccination generated the most potent therapeutic anti-tumor effects as well as highest levels of E7-specific CD8+ T cells among all the groups tested.
293 18636165 The effect of the treatment was not enhanced by the simultaneous administration of non-oncogenic, genetically modified TC-1 cells expressing either IL-2, IL-12 or GM-CSF, and, in fact, the oncolytic effect of the virus was even less expressed in some instances.
294 18940198 While it is well established that CD4(+) T lymphocytes play a crucial role in the initiation, progression and persistence of asthma, the role of CD8(+) T cells is less understood.
295 18940198 CD8(+) T cells form functionally similar subsets which exhibit similar cytokine profiles as Th1 and Th2 cells, known as Tc1 and Tc2.
296 18940198 Evidence from animal studies suggest that CD8(+) T cells are capable of regulating IgE production through the induction of IL-12 and IL-18 production in dendritic cells, and that CD8(+) T cells may act to moderate Th2 polarisation within the localised lymph nodes during allergic sensitisation.
297 19056449 Enhancing therapeutic HPV DNA vaccine potency through depletion of CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells.
298 19056449 We found that administration of PC61 prior to vaccination with E7/Hsp70 DNA was capable of generating higher levels of E7-specific CD8(+) T cells compared to the control antibody, leading to significantly improved therapeutic and long-term protective antitumor effects against an E7-expressing tumor, TC-1.
299 19056449 Thus, a strategy to deplete CD4(+)CD25(+) Tregs in conjunction with therapeutic tumor antigen-specific DNA vaccine may represent a potentially promising approach to control tumor.
300 19082488 The chemotherapy resulted in the decrease of the CD4+ and CD8+ TIL, increase of the Gr-1+/CD11b+ TIL, no changes in the infiltration with CD4+/CD25+ Treg TIL, and decrease of the cytolytic and proliferative potential of the CD45+ TIL.
301 19082488 Subsequent immunotherapy with the IL-12-producing, genetically modified TC-1 (TC-1-IL-12) cells increased tumour infiltration with CD8+ and CD4+ cells, decreased the Gr-1+/CD11b+ cells, and increased the cytolytic and proliferative potential of the CD45+ TIL.
302 19739073 Treatment of tumor-bearing mice with beta-GalCer(C12) 3-14 days after tumor cell transplantation significantly inhibited the growth of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I-positive (TC-1), as well as MHC Class I-deficient (TC-1/A9) HPV16-associated tumors.
303 19816937 TC-1 tumors and that tumor regression was mainly provided by CD8 T cells.
304 19863514 Intradermal injections of polyarginine-containing immunogenic antigens preferentially elicit Tc1 and Th1 activation and antitumour immunity.
305 19863514 Background We previously have shown that nona-arginine protein transduction domain (R9-PTD) induced efficient protein-antigen (Ag) transduction of dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro, resulting in the efficient induction of strong Ag-specific immune responses mediated by CD8+ and CD4+ T cells and in superior antitumour effects in vivo in cancer-bearing mice.
306 19863514 The i.d. injections of rR9-OVA also induced inflammatory cell infiltrates containing neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes, as well as production of inflammatory cytokines such as interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin-2 and IFN-inducible protein 10, with presenting SIINFEKL epitopes on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules at the injection area. i.t. injections of rR9-OVA into EG.7 tumour mass significantly suppressed tumour growth, and these effects were completely abrogated by the depletion of CD8+ T cells.
307 19923459 Soluble B and T lymphocyte attenuator possesses antitumor effects and facilitates heat shock protein 70 vaccine-triggered antitumor immunity against a murine TC-1 cervical cancer model in vivo.
308 19923459 B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA)-herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM) signaling coinhibitory pathway is believed to impair antitumor immune competences.
309 19923459 To address this issue, we constructed a eukaryotic expression plasmid (psBTLA) that expressed the extracellular domain of murine BTLA (soluble form of BTLA), which could bind HVEM, the ligand of BTLA, and block BTLA-HVEM interactions.
310 19923459 The data in this study showed that treatment by injection of psBTLA resulted in down-regulation of IL-10 and TGF-beta and promotion of dendritic cell function by increasing the expression of B7-1 and IL-12, but the adaptive antitumor immune responses achieved by psBTLA administration alone were limited and could not eradicate the tumor effectively.
311 19923459 Next, we evaluated the immunotherapeutic efficacy and mechanism of combination therapy of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) vaccine/psBTLA by using murine TC-1 cervical cancer mice as an ectopic tumor model.
312 19923459 Our in vivo studies revealed that treatment with HSP70 vaccine alone did not lead to satisfactory tumor growth inhibition, whereas cotreatment with psBTLA significantly improved antitumor immunity and compensated the deficiency of HSP70 vaccine by increasing the expression of Th1 cytokines, IL-2, and IFN-gamma and decreasing transcription levels of IL-10, TGF-beta, and Foxp3 in the tumor microenvironment.

314 19923459 B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA)-herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM) signaling coinhibitory pathway is believed to impair antitumor immune competences.
315 19923459 To address this issue, we constructed a eukaryotic expression plasmid (psBTLA) that expressed the extracellular domain of murine BTLA (soluble form of BTLA), which could bind HVEM, the ligand of BTLA, and block BTLA-HVEM interactions.
316 19923459 The data in this study showed that treatment by injection of psBTLA resulted in down-regulation of IL-10 and TGF-beta and promotion of dendritic cell function by increasing the expression of B7-1 and IL-12, but the adaptive antitumor immune responses achieved by psBTLA administration alone were limited and could not eradicate the tumor effectively.
317 19923459 Next, we evaluated the immunotherapeutic efficacy and mechanism of combination therapy of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) vaccine/psBTLA by using murine TC-1 cervical cancer mice as an ectopic tumor model.
318 19923459 Our in vivo studies revealed that treatment with HSP70 vaccine alone did not lead to satisfactory tumor growth inhibition, whereas cotreatment with psBTLA significantly improved antitumor immunity and compensated the deficiency of HSP70 vaccine by increasing the expression of Th1 cytokines, IL-2, and IFN-gamma and decreasing transcription levels of IL-10, TGF-beta, and Foxp3 in the tumor microenvironment.
319 19940864 We found that the co-administration of a DNA vaccine in conjunction with a DNA encoding a xenogenic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule could significantly enhance the E7-specific CD8+ T-cell immune responses and antitumor effects against an E7-expressing tumor, TC-1, in C57BL/6 tumor-bearing mice.
320 19950168 Here, we demonstrated that utilizing nonlytic Fc-fused IL-7 (IL-7-Fc(m)) as a genetic adjuvant significantly enhanced not only CD4(+) but also CD8(+) T-cell responses by E7 DNA immunization, in addition to improving protection against TC-1-induced tumors in comparison to IL-7 alone.
321 19950168 Thus, our findings suggest that nonlytic Fc, in contrast to lytic Fc, fusion to cytokines may provide an insight in designing a potent genetic adjuvant for inducing CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell responses.
322 20406989 Conjugate vaccines containing human papillomavirus 16 E7 oncoprotein or survivin as a self-TAA had potent therapeutic efficacy against TC-1 cervical and 3LL lung carcinoma tumors, respectively.
323 20406989 Therapeutic efficacy of the vaccines was associated with increased CD4(+) T and CD8(+) T-cell effector and memory responses and higher intratumoral CD8(+) T effector/CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) T regulatory cell ratio.
324 20473939 Besides, a favorable host environment was created by the reduced secretion of interleukin-10 and 6 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the tumor niche and decreased the expression of phosphorylation-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 of TC-1 tumors.
325 20549206 Poly-ICLC promotes the infiltration of effector T cells into intracranial gliomas via induction of CXCL10 in IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma dependent manners.
326 20549206 In this study, we sought to determine critical roles of host IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma pathways in the enhanced therapeutic efficacy mediated by peptide vaccines and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)] stabilized by lysine and carboxymethylcellulose (poly-ICLC) in the murine central nervous system (CNS) GL261 glioma.
327 20549206 C57BL/6-background wild type (WT), IFN-alpha receptor-1 (IFN-alphaR1)(-/-) or IFN-gamma(-/-) mice bearing syngeneic CNS GL261 glioma received subcutaneous (s.c.) vaccinations with synthetic peptides encoding CTL epitopes with or without intramuscular (i.m.) injections of poly-ICLC.
328 20549206 Both IFN-alphaR(-/-) and IFN-gamma(-/-) hosts failed to up-regulate the CXCL10 mRNA and recruit Tc1 cells to the tumor site, indicating non-redundant roles of type-1 and type-2 IFNs in the effects of poly-ICLC-assisted vaccines.
329 20549206 The efficient trafficking of Tc1 also required Tc1-derived IFN-gamma.
330 20549206 Our data point to critical roles of the host-IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma pathways in the modulation of CNS glioma microenvironment, and the therapeutic effectiveness of poly-ICLC-assisted glioma vaccines.
331 20713880 T-bet and Eomesodermin (Eomes) have been suggested to be master regulators of Th1 cells and CD8(+) T cells.
332 20713880 T-bet and Eomes drive Tc1 differentiation by preventing alternative CD8(+) T cell differentiation to Tc17 or Tc2 cells.
333 20713880 Surprisingly, T-bet and Eomes are not critical for the generation of systemic CTL activities against cancer cells.
334 20713880 Instead, T-bet and Eomes are crucial for tumor infiltration by CD8(+) T cells.
335 20713880 This study defines T-bet and Eomes as critical regulators of T cell-mediated immune responses against tumor.
336 20739505 Recombinant adenovirus or DNA vaccines encoding herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein D (gD) genetically fused to human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) oncoproteins (E5, E6, and E7) induce antigen-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses and confer preventive resistance to transplantable murine tumor cells (TC-1 cells).
337 20739505 In the present report, we characterized some previously uncovered aspects concerning the induction of CD8(+) T-cell responses and the therapeutic anticancer effects achieved in C57BL/6 mice immunized with pgD-E7E6E5 previously challenged with TC-1 cells.
338 20739505 Concerning the characterization of the immune responses elicited in mice vaccinated with pgD-E7E6E5, we determined the effect of the CD4(+) T-cell requirement, longevity, and dose-dependent activation on the E7-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses.
339 20739505 Mice challenged with TC-1 cells and then immunized with three doses of pgD-E7E6E5 elicited CD8(+) T-cell responses, measured by intracellular gamma interferon (IFN-γ) and CD107a accumulation, to the three HPV-16 oncoproteins and displayed in vivo antigen-specific cytolytic activity, as demonstrated with carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-labeled target cells pulsed with oligopeptides corresponding to the H-2D(b)-restricted immunodominant epitopes of the E7, E6, or E5 oncoprotein.
340 20739505 In addition, coadministration of pgD-E7E6E5 with DNA vectors encoding pGM-CSF or interleukin-12 (IL-12) enhanced the therapeutic antitumor effects for all mice challenged with TC-1 cells.
341 20739505 Recombinant adenovirus or DNA vaccines encoding herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein D (gD) genetically fused to human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) oncoproteins (E5, E6, and E7) induce antigen-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses and confer preventive resistance to transplantable murine tumor cells (TC-1 cells).

356 20817010 Therefore, priming with a DNA vaccine in the presence of α-GalCer and boosting with E7-pulsed DC-1 led to a significant enhancement of E7-specific CD8(+) effector and memory T-cells as well as significantly improved therapeutic and preventive effects against an E7-expressing tumor model (TC-1) in vaccinated mice.
357 21109988 In vivo depletion of CD8+ cells, but not of CD4+ or NK1.1+ cells in the immunization period resulted in complete elimination of the protective effects of immunization with irradiated TC-1 cells (MHC class I-positive cell line) against the TC-1 tumour challenge.

382 21228885 In this study, we demonstrated that intratumoral (i.t.) injection of MSCs expressing modified interleukin-12 (MSCs/IL-12M) exhibited stronger tumor-specific T-cell responses and antitumor effects as well as more sustained expressions of IL-12 and interferon (IFN)-γ in both sera and tumor sites than did IL-12M-expressing adenovirus (rAd/IL-12M) in mice bearing both solid and metastatic tumors.
383 21228885 Subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of MSCs/IL-12M at contralateral site of tumor exhibited similar levels of serum IL-12 and IFN-γ as i.t. injection, but much weaker antitumor effects in both B16F10 melanoma and TC-1 cervical cancer models than i.t. injection.
384 21321245 The current study demonstrated that a protocol to immunize the C57BL/6 mice with OK-432 followed by treatment with TC-1 lysate can generate markedly increased immune responses of E7-specific CD4(+) T cells and a moderate increase of natural killer (NK) cell, as well as a satisfactorily protective and therapeutic antitumor effect by triggering the DCs to prime T cells.
385 21321245 Depletion of lymphocyte subset in vivo suggested that the antitumor effects could be dominantly executed by CD8+ T cells and followed by NK cells, and both of these reactions were induced by the generation of robust E7-specific CD4(+) T helper cell response.
386 21722685 Immunization of protein HPV16 E7 in fusion with mouse HSP70 inhibits the growth of TC-1 cells in tumor bearing mice.
387 22008913 However, the VV.mIFNβ vector was able to augment the efficacy of an antitumor vaccine in the TC-1 tumor model in association with increased numbers of infiltrating CD8 T-cells.
388 22095092 In the present study, we demonstrate that CAF01/poly(I:C), termed cationic adjuvant formulation 05 or CAF05, can induce CD8(+) T cells that efficiently lyse target cells and significantly reduce tumor growth in two different mouse tumor models: lung B16-OVA melanoma expressing ovalbumin and the self-antigen TRP2, and subcutaneous TC-1 tumors expressing the human papillomavirus-16 protein E7.
389 22326819 Results showed that lymphocyte proliferation and some cytokines were significantly elevated, with cellular immune responses skewed towards Th1 and Tc1.
390 22509395 Tumor-targeted delivery of IL-2 by NKG2D leads to accumulation of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells in the tumor loci and enhanced anti-tumor effects.
391 22509395 Because NKG2D ligands have been shown to be highly expressed in many cancer cells but not in healthy cells, we reason that a chimeric protein consisting of NKG2D linked to IL-2 will lead to the specific targeting of IL-2 to the tumor location.
392 22509395 Therefore, we created chimeric proteins consisting of NKG2D linked to Gaussia luciferase (GLuc; a marker protein) or IL-2 to form NKG2D-Fc-GLuc and NKG2D-Fc-IL2, respectively.
393 22509395 Furthermore, we showed that TC-1 tumor-bearing mice intramuscularly injected with DNA encoding NKG2D-Fc-IL2, followed by electroporation, exhibited an increased number of luciferase-expressing E7-specific CD8+ T cells at the tumor location.
394 22509395 Therefore, by linking NKG2D to IL2, we are able to specifically deliver IL-2 to the tumor location, enhancing antigen-specific T-cell immune response and controlling tumor growth.
395 22679502 Typhi antigens in T memory subsets, we developed multiparametric flow cytometry methods to detect up to 6 cytokines/chemokines (IL-10, IL-17A, IL-2, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (MIP-1β)) simultaneously.
396 22679502 Virtually all of the IL-17A detected was derived from multifunctional CD8+ T cells.
397 22679502 The presence of these multifunctional IL-17A+ CD8+ T cells was confirmed using an unsupervised analysis program, flow cytometry clustering without K (FLOCK).
398 22679502 The presence of IL-17A in multifunctional cells co-producing Tc1 cytokines (IL-2, IFN-γ and TNF-α) may also indicate that the distinction between Tc17 and Tc1 responses in humans is not as clearly delineated as suggested by in vitro experiments and animal models.
399 22926003 In the present study, three strategies including linkage to immunostimulatory molecules (N-terminal of gp96), co-administration of chemokines (IP-10 or RANTES) and PEI600-Tat as non-viral gene delivery system have been applied to enhance DNA vaccine efficacy against HPV infections.
400 22926003 Our results showed that co-administration of IP-10 with E7-NT-gp96 delivered by PEI600-Tat elicits significant IFN-γ production and consequently a strong preventive response against TC-1 tumor cells in contrast to increased tumor growth by RANTES co-delivery.
401 22926003 Also in therapeutic experiment, our data showed that co-immunization of IP-10 at the same inoculation site of TC-1 along with E7-NT-gp96 delivery by PEI600-Tat is able to significantly suppress TC-1 tumor growth.

405 23162749 We conclude that the efficacy of Listeria-based vaccine does not rely on γδ T cells (or IL-17 produced by them) in a TC.1 tumor model; however, Listeria-based immunotherapy can be used to induce IL-17+ γδ T cells that are important for regression observed in alternative cancer models.
406 23377669 A major challenge associated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is effective prevention and/or attenuation of symptoms associated with acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) that can result from a failure of either host and/or donor CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T (Tr) and CD8(+)CD28 suppressor T (Ts) cells to dampen immunopathogenic responses mediated by alloreactive donor CD4(+)CD28(+) Th1 (Th1) and CD8(+)CD28(-) Tc1 (Tc1) cell-mediated inflammatory processes.
407 23377669 In addition, immunized mice presented with significantly diminished Th1-cytokines interferon-γ and interleukin-2 response and a moderately upregulated Th2-cytokine interleukin-10 and Th3-cytokine transforming growth factor-β response.
408 23428347 In this study, we explored the effects of a combination treatment consisting of a proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib, and an antigen specific STAT3-ablated (STAT3⁻/⁻) DC-based vaccine on the control of TC-1(P3) tumors, a p53-degraded immune resistant cancer cells.
409 23428347 We found that E7-antigen expressing STAT3⁻/⁻ DC (E7-DC-1STAT3⁻/⁻) vaccination enhanced generation of E7-specific CD8⁺ T cells, but was not enough to control TC-1(P3) cancer cells.
410 23428347 We found that apoptosis via down-regulation of STAT3 and NF-κB and up-regulation of Fas and death receptor 5 (DR5) expression in TC-1(P3) induced by bortezomib was independent of p53 status.
411 23428347 We also observed that TC-1(P3) cells pretreated with bortezomib had markedly enhanced anti-tumor effects on E7-specific CD8⁺ T cells through a Fas/DR5-mediated mechanism.
412 23428347 These results suggest that the anti-tumor effects against a p53-degraded immune resistant variant generated by antigen-expressing STAT3-ablated mature DCs may be enhanced by bortezomib via death receptor-mediated apoptosis.

428 23521528 We have engineered a nononcogenic mutated E7-specific plasmo-retroVLP vaccine (pVLP-E7), consisting of plasmid DNA, that is able to form recombinant retrovirus-based virus-like particles (VLPs) that display E7 antigen into murine leukemia virus Gag proteins pseudotyped with vesicular stomatitis virus envelope glycoprotein (VSV-G). pVLP-E7 vaccinations were studied for their ability to generate specific immune responses and for induction of protective immunity against tumor cell challenge in preventive and therapeutic models.
429 23521528 Intradermic vaccinations of mice with pVLP-E7 show their efficacy to generate antigen-specific T cell responses, to prevent and protect animals from early TC-1 tumor development compared with standard DNA or VLP immunizations.
430 23521528 Data show that pVLP-E7 vaccination can cure mice with already established tumors only when combined with Toll-like receptor-7 (TLR7) and TLR9 agonists.
431 23615841 We found that TC-1 tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice treated with cisplatin and intratumoral injection of CRT/E7-VV significantly increased E7-specific CD8+ T cells in the blood and generated potent local and systemic antitumor immune responses compared to mice receiving cisplatin and CRT/E7-VV intraperitoneally or mice treated with cisplatin alone.
432 23799135 The E6-RHDV-VLP-PADRE was administered therapeutically for the treatment of a pre-existing TC-1 tumour and was delivered with antibodies either to deplete regulatory T cells (anti-CD25) or to block T cell suppression mediated through CTLA-4.
433 23831323 We noticed that TC-1 cells do not express Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) on their surface and the TLR5 signaling pathway in TC-1 cells was not responsible for the antitumor effect of FlaB.
434 23831323 In addition, this antitumor activity was abrogated following the in vivo depletion of CD8(+) T cells and in TLR5 knockout (KO) or MyD88 KO mice.
435 23831323 These results suggest that flagellin could enhance TA-specific CD8(+) CTL immune responses through TLR5 stimulation in cancer immunotherapy.
436 23839107 Persistence of Th1/Tc1 responses one year after tetravalent dengue vaccination in adults and adolescents in Singapore.
437 23839107 Vaccination induced YF-17D-NS3-specific CD8/IFNγ responses, without significant TNFα, and a CYD-specific Th1/Tc1 cellular response in all participants, which was characterized by predominant IFNγ secretion compared with TNFα, associated with low level IL-13 secretion in multiplex analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) supernatants after restimulation with each the CYD vaccine viruses.
438 23877655 BM-derived DCs infected by ad-shRNA-SOCS1 were pulsed with the HPV16mE7 protein and then were transfused into mouse models bearing TC-1 tumor cells expressing HPV16 E6/E7.
439 23877655 IFN-γ, cytokine (TNF-α, IL-12, IL-6) expression, anti-E7 antibody and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) levels were measured.
440 24066030 We herein investigated this issue using two vaccine formulations containing a novel costimulatory molecule, SA-4-1BBL, as adjuvant and HPV E7 or survivin (SVN) as tumor associated antigens (TAAs) in two mouse transplantable tumor models; the TC-1 cervical cancer expressing xenogeneic HPV E7 and 3LL lung carcinoma overexpressing autologous SVN.
441 24066030 The in vivo depletion of CD4(+) T cells one day before tumor challenge resulted in compromised vaccine efficacy in both TC-1 (25%) and 3LL (12.5%) tumor models.
442 24066030 Collectively, these results demonstrate the indispensable role CD4(+) T cells play in the generation of therapeutic primary immune responses elicited by SA-4-1BBL/TAA-based vaccines irrespective of the nature of TAAs and establish the importance of CD4(+) T cells for long-term immune memory against 3LL tumor expressing self-antigen SVN, but not TC-1 expressing xenogeneic viral antigen E7.

449 24083082 Here, we report that the administration of L. monocytogenes-based anticancer vaccines increases the secretion of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 (CXCL9), and CXCL10 by tumors, hence favoring the recruitment of T cells bearing the cognate chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 3 (CXCR3).
450 24083082 Furthermore, the expression of CXCL9, but not CXCL10, in TC-1 tumors was significantly reduced upon anti-IFNγ antibody treatment.
451 24083082 CXCL9 was highly expressed by TC-1 cells following the administration of IFNγ and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), in vitro.
452 24083082 Moreover, the inhibition of CXCL9 in TC-1 cells reduced the proportion of CD8+ T cells infiltrating tumors in vaccinated mice, while increasing that of CD4+ T cells, thus altering T-cell subset distribution.
453 24083082 Here, we report that the administration of L. monocytogenes-based anticancer vaccines increases the secretion of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 (CXCL9), and CXCL10 by tumors, hence favoring the recruitment of T cells bearing the cognate chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 3 (CXCR3).
454 24083082 Furthermore, the expression of CXCL9, but not CXCL10, in TC-1 tumors was significantly reduced upon anti-IFNγ antibody treatment.
455 24083082 CXCL9 was highly expressed by TC-1 cells following the administration of IFNγ and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), in vitro.

461 24296809 Most importantly, DCs matured with OK-432 plus IFN-γ-induced maintained secretion of interleukin-12 (IL-12)p70 in secondary culture after stimulus withdrawal.
462 24296809 Functionally, OK-432 plus IFN-γ-conditioned DCs induce remarkable Th1 and Tc1 responses more effectively than OK-432 alone, even more than the use of α-type-1 cytokine cocktail.
463 24396491 The present study evaluated the protective effects of intranasally administered live L. lactis strains carrying human papillomavirus 16 E7 protein and murine interleukin-12 (IL-12) DNA (LL-E7P-IL-12D) in a TC-1 tumor animal model.
464 24396491 IL-12 and interferon-γ serum levels were measured and immunization with LL-E7P-IL-12D was shown to induce an E7-specific immune response and to confer protection against TC-1-induced tumors in vivo.

467 24728077 PD-1/B7-H1 is an important inhibitory axis in the tumor microenvironment.
468 24728077 We observed that using anti-PD-1 antibody and a multipeptide vaccine (consisting of immunogenic peptides derived from breast cancer antigens, neu, legumain, and β-catenin) as a combination therapy regimen for the treatment of breast cancer-bearing mice prolonged the vaccine-induced progression-free survival period.
469 24728077 This prolonged survival was associated with increase in number of Tc1 and Tc2 CD8 T cells with memory precursor phenotype, CD27+IL-7RhiT-betlo, and decrease in number of PD-1+ dendritic cells (DC) in regressing tumors and enhanced antigen reactivity of tumor-infiltrating CD8 T cells.
470 24728077 It was also observed that blockade of PD-1 on tumor DCs enhanced IL-7R expression on CD8 T cells.
471 24728077 Taken together, our results suggest that PD-1 blockade enhances breast cancer vaccine efficacy by altering both CD8 T cell and DC components of the tumor microenvironment.
472 24789529 The Sox2 gene was codon optimized for the expression in human cells, its sequences encoding two nuclear localization signals (NLSs) were mutagenized, and the sequence coding for the PADRE helper epitope was fused with its 5' terminus.
473 24789529 The antitumor effect was shown after immunization against mouse oncogenic TC-1/B7 cells derived from the lung cancer cell line TC-1 and characterized by high Sox2 production.

484 24990079 The HspX protein induces DC maturation and proinflammatory cytokine production (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IFN-β) through TLR4 binding partially mediated by both the MyD88 and the TRIF signaling pathways.
485 24990079 The administration of HspX-stimulated DCs increased the activation of naive T cells, effectively polarizing the CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells to secrete IFN-γ, as well as enhanced the cytotoxicity of splenocytes against HPV-16 E7 (E7)-expressing TC-1 murine tumor cells in therapeutic experimental animals.
486 25153350 Our previous study demonstrated that the extracellular domain of murine BTLA (the soluble form of BTLA) can facilitate HSP70 vaccine-triggered antitumor immunity by blocking BTLA-HVEM interactions in a murine TC-1 non-metastatic tumor model.
487 25153350 Furthermore, the Th1 cytokines IL-2 and IFN-γ were up-regulated, while the negative regulatory molecules IL-10 and TGF-β were down-regulated.
488 25265018 To improve anti-tumor effects of therapeutic vaccine, we fused cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) with HPV16 E7 and E6 as a fusion therapeutic DNA vaccine (pCTLA4-E7E6). pCTLA4-E7E6 induced significantly higher anti-E7E6 specific antibodies and relatively stronger specific CTL responses than the nonfusion DNA vaccine pE7E6 in C57BL/6 mice bearing with TC-1 tumors. pCTLA4-E7E6 showed relatively stronger anti-tumor effects than pE7E6 in therapeutic immunization.
489 25499555 When the conjugate was treated with CD44(high) TC-1 tumor cells, it was effectively taken up and allowed for displaying of antigenic OVA257-264 peptide at MHC class I on the surface of the cells.
490 25530186 A direct comparison to Poly(I:C) showed superior efficacy of our adjuvant to enhance antigen-specific multifunctional CD8(+) T-cell responses and mediate anti-tumor responses induced by peptide derived from HPV-16 E7 protein in the syngeneic TC-1 tumor, a murine model of human HPV-induced cervical cancer.
491 25701675 Local administration of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor induces local accumulation of dendritic cells and antigen-specific CD8+ T cells and enhances dendritic cell cross-presentation.
492 25701675 Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF) has been reported to posses the ability to induce migration of antigen presentation cells and CD8+ T cells.
493 25701675 Therefore, in the current study, we employ a combination of systemic therapeutic HPV DNA vaccination with local GMCSF application in the TC-1 tumor model.
494 25701675 We show that intramuscular vaccination with CRT/E7 DNA followed by GMCSF intravaginal administration effectively controls cervicovaginal TC-1 tumors in mice.

499 25753156 The siRNA cocktail targeting interleukin 10 receptor and transforming growth factor-β receptor on dendritic cells potentiates tumour antigen-specific CD8(+) T cell immunity.
500 25753156 The potency of DCs, however, is readily attenuated immediately after their administration in patients as tumours and various immune cells, including DCs, produce various immunosuppressive factors such as interleukin (IL)-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β that hamper the function of DCs.
501 25753156 Among the siRNAs targeting various immunosuppressive molecules, we observed that DCs transfected with siRNA targeting IL-10 receptor alpha (siIL-10RA) initiated the strongest antigen-specific CD8(+) T cell immune responses.
502 25753156 The potency of siIL-10RA was enhanced further by combining it with siRNA targeting TGF-β receptor (siTGF-βR), which was the next best option during the screening of this study, or the previously selected immunoadjuvant siRNA targeting phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) or Bcl-2-like protein 11 (BIM).
503 25753156 Concordantly, the knock-down of both IL-10RA and TGF-βR in DCs induced the strongest anti-tumour effects in the TC-1 P0 tumour model, a cervical cancer model expressing the human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 E7 antigen, and even in the immune-resistant TC-1 (P3) tumour model that secretes more IL-10 and TGF-β than the parental tumour cells (TC-1 P0).
504 26122844 In animals vaccinated with CyaA-E7, rapamycin administration completely abolished recruitment of CD8+ T cells into TC-1 tumors along with the ability of the vaccine to reduce infiltration of T regulatory cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells.
505 26289530 Interestingly, XHL in conjunction with inactivated FMD vaccine activated strong Th1 and Tc1 cell responses, especially Tfh cell responses, in immunized mice.
506 26289530 XHL stimulated dendritic cell maturation by upregulating expression of major histocompatibility complex II (MHCII) molecules and co-stimulatory molecules CD40 and CD86 in immunized mice.
507 26336989 Furthermore, vaccination with PAUF treated DCs pulsed with E7 or OVA peptides leads to generation of E7 or OVA-specific CD8+ T cells and memory T cells, which correlate with long term tumor protection and antitumor effects against TC-1 and EG.7 tumors in mice.
508 26351680 Antibody modulation of T-cell coinhibitory (e.g., CTLA-4) or costimulatory (e.g., 4-1BB) receptors promotes clinical responses to a variety of cancers.
509 26351680 Combining this E6/E7 peptide vaccine with checkpoint blockade produced only modest benefit; however, coadministration with a 4-1BB agonist antibody promoted durable regression of established genital TC-1 tumors.
510 26351680 Relative to other therapies tested, this combination of vaccine and α4-1BB promoted the highest CD8(+) versus regulatory FoxP3(+) T-cell ratios, elicited 2- to 5-fold higher infiltration by E7-specific CTL, and evoked higher densities of highly cytotoxic TcEO (T cytotoxic Eomesodermin) CD8 (>70-fold) and ThEO (T helper Eomesodermin) CD4 (>17-fold) T cells.
511 26390407 Tumor preventive assays, based on the engraftment of TC-1 cells in mice, showed that the E6E7 multi-epitope protein induced a full preventive anti-tumor protection in wild-type mice, as well as in mice deficient in expression of CD4+ T cells and TLR4 receptor.
