43 9570527 Autologous human monocyte-derived dendritic cells genetically modified to express melanoma antigens elicit primary cytotoxic T cell responses in vitro: enhancement by cotransfection of genes encoding the Th1-biasing cytokines IL-12 and IFN-alpha.

45 9570527 Coinsertion of genes encoding the Th1-biasing cytokines IL-12 or IFN-alpha consistently enhanced the magnitude of the resulting Ag-specific CTL reactivity.
46 9816214 Specific CD8(+) CTL recognition of melanoma requires expression of MHC class I molecules as well as melanoma-associated peptide epitopes.
47 9816214 Stable MHC class I cell surface expression requires delivery of cytosolic peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum by the peptide transporter molecules TAP1 and TAP2, with peptides subsequently transported to the cell surface in complexes containing MHC class I heavy chain and beta2-microglobulin.
48 9816214 We have evaluated a series of mechanisms resulting in MHC class I down-regulation in a human melanoma cell line, Mz18, typed as HLA-A2(+), A3(+), B7(+), B57(+), Cw1(+), and Cw6(+) by genomic PCR analysis.
49 9816214 The melanoma cell line Mz18 exhibits a global down-regulation of MHC class I heavy chain transcripts; beta2-microglobulin; the proteasome subunits LMP2/7, involved in generating cytosolic peptide fragments; and the peptide transporter molecules TAP1 and TAP2, involved in peptide transport from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum.
50 9816214 IFN-gamma treatment of Mz18 melanoma cells leads to up-regulation of LMP2/7 and TAP1/2, as well as to up-regulation of HLA-B and HLA-C MHC loci alleles, but not HLA-A2 or HLA-A3.
51 9816214 Melanoma peptides could only be presented and recognized by CTLs if the HLA-A2-transfected Mz18 cell line was first treated with IFN-gamma, thereby restoring LMP2/7 and TAP1/2 expression and function.
52 9816214 Because several melanoma antigens recognized by T cells have been reported to be presented by HLA-A2 (MART-1/Melan-A, tyrosinase, gp100, and MAGE-3), the loss of HLA-A2 molecules may represent an important mechanism by which many melanomas evade immune recognition.
53 9816214 These findings suggest that patients entering clinical trials for immunotherapy with melanoma vaccines should be carefully examined for tumor cell allelic MHC class I loss and whether such MHC class I antigen down-regulation can be restored by cytokines.

65 10760827 We have shown that the sequential use of early-acting hematopoietic growth factors, stem cell factor, IL-3 and IL-6, followed by differentiation with IL-4 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor allows the in vitro generation of large numbers of immature DCs from CD34(+) peripheral blood progenitor cells.
66 10760827 Fourteen HLA-A1(+) or HLA-A2(+) patients received at least 4 i.v. infusions of 5 x 10(6) to 5 x 10(7) DCs pulsed with a pool of peptides including either MAGE-1, MAGE-3 (HLA-A1) or Melan-A, gp100, tyrosinase (HLA-A2), depending on the HLA haplotype.

68 11049990 Here we provide evidence that patients with advanced breast and ovarian cancer can be efficiently vaccinated with autologous DCs pulsed with HER-2/neu- or MUC1-derived peptides.
69 11049990 The major CTL response in vivo was induced with the HER-2/neu-derived E75 and the MUC1-derived M1.2 peptide, which lasted for more than 6 months, suggesting that these peptides might be immunodominant.
70 11049990 In addition, in one patient vaccinated with the MUC1-derived peptides, CEA- and MAGE-3 peptide-specific T-cell responses were detected after several vaccinations.
71 11049990 In a second patient immunized with the HER-2/neu peptides, MUC1-specific T lymphocytes were induced after 7 immunizations, suggesting that antigen spreading in vivo might occur after successful immunization with a single tumor antigen.
72 11051238 Because little is known about their composite expression in human brain tumors, we investigated the expression of seven CT genes (MAGE-3, NY-ESO-1, HOM-MEL-40/SSX-2, SSX-1, SSX-4,HOM-TES-14/SCP-1, and HOM-TES-85) in 88 human brain tumor specimens.
73 11051238 Meningiomas expressed only HOM-TES-14/SCP-1 (18% of meningiomas were HOM-TES-14/SCP-1 positive) and did not express any other CT genes.
74 11051238 Astrocytomas were most frequently positive for HOM-TES-14/SCP-1 (40%) and SSX-4 (27%), followed by HOM-TES-85 (13%), SSX-2 (11%), and MAGE-3 (7%).

82 11300489 A Phase I clinical trial was thus performed in patients with metastatic melanoma using immunization with autologous PBMCs pulsed with a MAGE-3 or a MelanA peptide, coadministered with various doses of recombinant human (rh)IL-12.
83 11300489 Immunization of HLA-A2+ melanoma patients with MAGE-3 or MelanA peptide-pulsed autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells plus recombinant human interleukin 12.
84 11300489 A Phase I clinical trial was thus performed in patients with metastatic melanoma using immunization with autologous PBMCs pulsed with a MAGE-3 or a MelanA peptide, coadministered with various doses of recombinant human (rh)IL-12.
85 11522640 Eighteen HLA A*0201(+) patients with metastatic melanoma received injections s.c. of CD34(+)progenitor-derived autologous dendritic cells (DCs), which included Langerhans cells.
86 11522640 DCs were pulsed with peptides derived from four melanoma antigens [(MelAgs) MelanA/MART-1, tyrosinase, MAGE-3, and gp100], as well as influenza matrix peptide (Flu-MP) and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as control antigens.
87 11920606 Real-time RT-PCR analysis of newly defined CT genes and the prototype CT antigens, MAGE-3 and NY-ESO-1, revealed low levels (less than 3% of the level detected in testis) of CT15, CT16 and NY-ESO-1 in a limited range of normal, non-gametogenic tissues.
88 12021308 There is consensus that an optimized cancer vaccine will have to induce not only CD8+ cytotoxic but also CD4+ T helper (Th) cells, particularly interferon (IFN)-gamma-producing, type 1 Th cells.
89 12021308 We demonstrate now that the subcutaneous injection of cryopreserved, mature, antigen-loaded, monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) rapidly induces unequivocal Th1 responses (ex vivo detectable IFN-gamma-producing effectors as well as proliferating precursors) both to the control antigen KLH and to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-restricted tumor peptides (melanoma-antigen [Mage]-3.DP4 and Mage-3.DR13) in the majority of 16 evaluable patients with metastatic melanoma.
90 12021308 These Th1 cells recognized not only peptides, but also DCs loaded with Mage-3 protein, and in case of Mage-3DP4-specific Th1 cells IFN-gamma was released even after direct recognition of viable, Mage-3-expressing HLA-DP4+ melanoma cells.
91 12124806 Immunization of these HLA-A2402/K(b)-transgenic mice with various known HLA-A24-restricted immunodominant cancer CTL epitope peptides derived from gp100, MAGE-1, MAGE-3, Her2/neu, CEA and TERT induced HLA-A24-restricted, peptide-specific CTLs.
92 12124806 Staining with HLA tetramers showed that the cytotoxic activity induced by immunizing with PSA(152-160) in HLA-A2402/K(b) transgenic mice was HLA-A2402-restricted and CD8-dependent.
93 12242516 Induction of specific CTL by MAGE-3/CEA peptide-pulsed dendritic cells from HLA-A2/A24(+) gastrointestinal cancer patients.
94 12350054 We provide evidence that patients with advanced breast and ovarian cancer can be efficiently vaccinated with autologous DC pulsed with HER-2/neu- or MUC1-derived peptides.
95 12350054 In addition, in one patient vaccinated with the MUC1-derived peptides, CEA- and MAGE-3 peptide-specific T-cell responses were detected after several vaccinations.
96 12350054 In a second patient immunized with the HER-2/neu peptides, MUC1-specific T lymphocytes were induced after seven immunizations, suggesting that antigen spreading in vivo might occur after successful immunization with a single tumor antigen.
97 12350054 In this ongoing trial one patient with metastatic RCC developed a partial remission of the metastatic sites was induced after the first four vaccinations with MUC1 peptides pulsed DC, that was ongoing after the next cycles containing IL-2.
98 12378152 A series of phase I/II clinical studies evaluating ALVAC recombinants carrying either the CEA, p53, MAGE1 or MAGE3 genes, administered through the subcutaneous, intradermal or intravenous routes, has shown that this approach is safe and can induce tumor-specific antibody or T cell responses in at least some of the patients.
99 12393675 Identification of immunodominant regions among promiscuous HLA-DR-restricted CD4+ T-cell epitopes on the tumor antigen MAGE-3.
100 12393675 We used a major histocompatability complex (MHC) class II epitope prediction algorithm, the TEPITOPE software, to predict 11 sequence segments of MAGE-3 that could form promiscuous CD4(+) T-cell epitopes.

114 12747756 We investigated the expression of 10 CT genes (MAGE-1, MAGE-3, MAGE-4, GAGE, NY-ESO-1, SSX-1, HOM-MEL-40/SSX-2, SSX-4, HOM-TES-14/SCP-1, and HOM-TES-85) in 21 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) biopsy specimens.
115 12747756 The most frequently expressed CT genes were SSX-1 and GAGE, which were found in 8/21 (38%) HCC samples, followed by HOM-TES-14/SCP-1 (6/21 or 29%), MAGE-3 (5/21 or 24%), HOM-TES-85 and MAGE-1 (4/21 or 19% each), whereas SSX-4 and HOM-MEL-40/SSX-2 were only expressed in 2/21 cases each, MAGE-4 in one case, and NY-ESO-1 not at all.

143 12964025 DCs from 14 patients with advanced or metastatic breast or lung cancer (9 positive for MUC1 and 5 negative for MUC1) were loaded with MUC1 antigens or tumor lysate and used for therapeutic vaccination.
144 12964025 However, MUC1-negative patients did not respond to DC vaccines, with the exception of 1 case with MAGE3-positive lung cancer.
145 12973032 The authors vaccinated 18 HLA A*0201+ patients with stage IV melanoma with CD34 HPC-derived DCs pulsed with six antigens: influenza matrix peptide (Flu-MP), KLH, and peptides derived from the four melanoma antigens: MART-1/Melan A, gp100, tyrosinase, and MAGE-3.
146 12973032 A single DC vaccination was sufficient for induction of KLH-specific CD4 T-cell responses in five patients and Flu-MP-specific CD8 T-cell responses in eight patients.
147 12973032 Thus, a single injection of CD34 HPC-derived DCs can lead to rapid immune response to CD4 epitopes or to melanoma antigens.
148 14512184 Vaccination with MAGE-3 and SSX-1 would cover 57% of all patients, with three antigens, MAGE-3, SSX-1, and MAGE-4, would cover 65%, and with four antigens, MAGE-3, SSX-1, MAGE-4 and SSX-4, would cover 70%.
149 14512184 For this purpose, vaccination with combinations of MAGE-3 with MAGE-6, SSX-4, MAGE-1 or BAGE may be effective for a quarter of Japanese lung cancer patients.

152 14568971 We have analyzed the T cell responses of HLA-A1 metastatic melanoma patients with detectable disease, following vaccination with a recombinant ALVAC virus, which bears short MAGE-1 and MAGE-3 sequences coding for antigenic peptides presented by HLA-A1.
153 14609222 DCs were pulsed with MART1, tyrosinase, MAGE3, gp100 and Flu-MP peptides, and KLH.
154 14634146 We previously described HLA-B35-restricted melanoma tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte responses to frequently expressed melanoma-associated Ags: tyrosinase, Melan-A/MART-1, gp100, MAGE-A3/MAGE-A6, and NY-ESO-1.
155 14634146 In particular, the HLA-B35-restricted Melan-A epitope is mimicked by the peptide 26-35, already known as the most immunodominant melanoma epitope in the HLA-A*0201 context.
156 14770084 In 30% of the evaluable patients vaccinated with the adjuvanted recombinant protein, IFNgamma production was increased in response to MAGE-3, and 2 patients (14% of evaluable patients) had a concomitant increase in IL-5 production.
157 14770084 In 37% and 43% of the patients, respectively, IFNgamma or IL-5 production was increased in response to ProtD.

159 14978137 We report in this study the successful induction of Ab, CD8(+), and CD4(+) T cells in nonsmall cell lung cancer patients vaccinated with MAGE-3 recombinant protein.
160 14978137 Of nine patients in the first cohort, three developed marginal Ab titers and another one had a CD8(+) T cell response to HLA-A2-restricted peptide MAGE-3 271-279.
161 14978137 In contrast, of eight patients from the second cohort vaccinated with MAGE-3 protein and adjuvant, seven developed high-titered Abs to MAGE-3, and four had a strong concomitant CD4(+) T cell response to HLA-DP4-restricted peptide 243-258.
162 14978137 The novel monitoring methodology used in this MAGE-3 study establishes that protein vaccination induces clear CD4(+) T cell responses that correlate with Ab production.

183 14991579 In order to define antigens that might be suitable as vaccines for pancreatic carcinoma, we investigated the composite expression of 10 cancer testis (CT) antigens (SCP-1, NY-ESO-1, SSX-1, SSX-2, SSX-4, GAGE, MAGE-3, MAGE-4, CT-7 and CT-8) by Reverse Transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) in fresh biopsies of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma, chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic carcinoma cell lines.
184 14991579 While all CT genes were frequently expressed in cell lines derived from pancreatic cancer, no expression of MAGE-3, SSX-1, SSX-2, NY-ESO-1 and CT-7 was detected in fresh tumor biopsies, and MAGE-4 (1/52), SSX-4 (1/39) and CT-8 (2/41) were only rarely expressed.
185 15153480 Messenger RNA-electroporated dendritic cells presenting MAGE-A3 simultaneously in HLA class I and class II molecules.
186 15153480 An optimal anticancer vaccine probably requires the cooperation of both CD4(+) Th cells and CD8(+) CTLs.
187 15153480 In this study we compared the efficiency of the targeting signals of invariant chain, lysosome-associated membrane protein-1 (LAMP1) and DC-LAMP.
188 15153480 DCs were also electroporated with unmodified MAGE-A3 or MAGE-A3 linked to the targeting signals, and the presentation of MAGE-A3-derived epitopes in the context of HLA class I and class II molecules was investigated.
189 15153480 Proteins linked to the LAMP1 or DC-LAMP signal are more efficiently presented than proteins linked to the invariant chain-targeting signal.

195 15160996 In this study, we investigated the specific CTL-inducing activity of 5 HLA-A*2402-restricted peptides derived from gp100, tyrosinase, MAGE1, MAGE2 and MAGE3.
196 15365776 A CD80-transfected human breast cancer cell variant induces HER-2/neu-specific T cells in HLA-A*02-matched situations in vitro as well as in vivo.
197 15365776 Using CD80+ KS breast cancer cells and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*02-matched peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of breast cancer patients in allogeneic mixed lymphocyte-tumor cell cultures (MLTCs), it was possible to isolate HLA-A*02-restricted cytotoxic T cells (CTLs).
198 15365776 KS breast cancer cells were demonstrated to express already known TAAs such as CEA, MUC-1, MAGE-1, MAGE-2, and MAGE-3.
199 15365776 To further improve antigenicity, HER-2/neu was added to this panel as a marker antigen known to elicit HLA-A*02-restricted CTLs in patients with breast cancer.
200 15365776 Thus, the antigen-processing and antigen-presentation capacity of KS cells was further demonstrated by the stimulation of HER-2/neu-specific CD8+ T cells in PBMCs of breast cancer patients in vitro.
201 15365776 These results gave a good rationale for a phase I/II trial, where the CD80+ HER-2/neu-overexpressing KS variant is actually used as a cellular vaccine in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
202 15365776 As a proof of principle, we present data from two patients where a significant increase of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) release was detected when postvaccination PBMCs were stimulated by allogeneic vaccine cells as well as by HLA-A*02-restricted HER-2/neu epitopes.
203 15449035 The (MHC class I-restricted) peptides were from gp100, MART-1, tyrosinase, and MAGE-3.
204 15449035 The gp100 and MART-1 peptides had been modified to increase their immunogenicity.
205 15516106 The serum from a patient with an NY-ESO-1 negative but LAGE-1 positive tumor was also found to be NY-ESO-1 antibody positive, possibly due to cross-reactivity between NY-ESO-1 and LAGE-1.
206 15516106 NY-ESO-1 and MAGE-3 are thus potential targets for a multivalent CT antigen vaccine.
207 15650233 Here we shall review the work carried out in our lab in recent years and show that NB cells express tumor-associated antigens, such as MAGE-3, but lack constitutive expression of costimulatory molecules and surface HLA class I and II molecules.
208 15650233 Notably, in vitro experiments with NB cell lines demonstrated that surface HLA class I molecules and the CD40 costimulatory molecule were upregulated following cell incubation with recombinant interferon-gamma.
209 15650233 Interaction of CD40 with recombinant CD40 ligand induced apoptosis of NB cells through a caspase 8-dependent mechanism.
210 15661935 Indeed, a recent study revealed CTLs specific for two cancer-testis (CT) Ags (MAGE-A1 and MAGE-A3) in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes of HCC patients.
211 15661935 Here we assessed the presence of T cells specific for additional CT Ags: MAGE-A10, SSX-2, NY-ESO-1, and LAGE-1, which are naturally immunogenic as demonstrated in HLA-A2(+) melanoma patients.
212 15661935 Therefore, besides melanoma, HCC is the second solid human tumor with clear evidence for in vivo tumor recognition by T cells, providing the rational for specific immunotherapy, based on immunization with CT Ags such as MAGE-A10 and SSX-2.
213 15699177 Monitoring of anti-vaccine CD4 T cell frequencies in melanoma patients vaccinated with a MAGE-3 protein.
214 15699177 To evaluate the responses of patients vaccinated with protein MAGE-3, we have developed an approach that involves overnight stimulation of blood T cells with autologous dendritic cells loaded with the protein, sorting by flow cytometry of the T cells that produce IFN-gamma, cloning of these cells, and evaluation of the number of T cell clones that secrete IFN-gamma upon stimulation with the Ag.
215 15699177 We analyzed the frequencies of anti-vaccine CD4 T cells in five metastatic melanoma patients who had been injected with a MAGE-3 protein without adjuvant and showed evidence of tumor regression.

222 15723705 Patients underwent leukapheresis to generate DC from which DEX were produced and loaded with MAGE-A3, -A4, -A10, and MAGE-3DPO4 peptides.
223 15750833 We used a Trimera mouse model, consisting of lethally irradiated BALB/c host reconstituted with nonobese diabetes/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) bone marrow plus human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), to characterize the in vivo immune responses against rSFV-encoded human melanoma antigen MAGE-3.
224 15756604 Heat shock protein 70/MAGE-3 fusion protein vaccine can enhance cellular and humoral immune responses to MAGE-3 in vivo.
225 15756604 MAGE-3, a member of melanoma antigen (MAGE) gene family, is recognized as an ideal candidate for tumor vaccine because it is expressed in a significant proportion of tumors of various histological types and can induce antigen-specific immune response in vivo.
226 15756604 In this research, we investigated whether M. tuberculosis HSP70 can be used as vehicle to elicit immune response to its accompanying MAGE-3 protein.
227 15756604 A recombinant protein expression vector was constructed that permitted the production of fusion protein linking amino acids 195-314 of MAGE-3 to the C terminus of HSP70.
228 15756604 We found that HSP70-MAGE-3 fusion protein can elicit stronger cellular and humoral immune responses against MAGE-3 expressing murine tumor than those elicited by MAGE-3 protein in vivo, which resulted in potent antitumor immunity against MAGE-3-expressing tumors.
229 15756604 Covalent linkage of HSP70 to MAGE-3 was necessary to elicit immune response to MAGE-3.

339 18317358 We performed a phase 1/2 trial testing the safety, toxicity, and immune response of a vaccine consisting of autologous dendritic cells (DCs) transduced with a replication-defective adenovirus (AdV) encoding the full-length melanoma antigen MART-1/Melan-A (MART-1).
340 18317358 This vaccine was designed to activate MART-1-specific CD+8 and CD4+ T cells.
341 18317358 CD8+ T-cell responses to MART-1 27-35 were assessed by both major histocompatibility complex class I tetramer and interferon (IFN)-gamma enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) before, during, and after each vaccine and CD4+ T-cell responses to MART-1 51-73 were followed by IFN-gamma ELISPOT.
342 18317358 Determinant spreading from the immunizing antigen MART-1 to other melanoma antigens [gp100, tyrosinase, human melanoma antigen-A3 (MAGE-A3)] was assessed by IFN-gamma ELISPOT.

363 19362946 Other approaches that inhibit insulin-like growth factor receptor or heat-shock protein, both involved with multiple pathways involved with cell growth and survival, have shown activity in early trials and are moving forward in trials that specifically focus on patients with advanced NSCLC.
364 19609242 We injected intradermally protamine-stabilized mRNAs coding for Melan-A, Tyrosinase, gp100, Mage-A1, Mage-A3, and Survivin in 21 metastatic melanoma patients.
365 19609242 Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor was applied as an adjuvant.
366 19609242 During treatment the frequency of Foxp3+/CD4+ regulatory T cells was significantly decreased upon mRNA vaccination in peripheral blood of the patients in the KLH arm, whereas myeloid suppressor cells (CD11b+HLA-DR lo monocytes) were reduced in the patients not receiving KLH.
367 19719775 Cancer vaccine trials based on CT antigens MAGE-A3 and NY-ESO-1 are currently ongoing, and these antigens may also play a role in antigen-specific adoptive T-cell transfer and in the immunomodulation approach of cancer therapy.
368 19734225 In this study, we have applied a sensitive method using CD154 (CD40L) staining to detect MAGE-A3-specific CD4+ T cells.
369 19734225 MAGE-A3-specific CD4+ T cells were detected in all individuals tested, at low frequency in healthy donors and seronegative cancer patients and higher frequency in patients seropositive for MAGE-A3.
370 19734225 Polyclonal expansion of CD154-expressing CD4+ T cells after cell sorting generated a large number of MAGE-A3-specific CD4+ T cell lines from all individuals tested, enabling full characterization of peptide specificity, HLA-restriction, and avidity.
371 19734225 Application of this method to cancer patients vaccinated with MAGE-A3 protein with or without adjuvant revealed that protein vaccination induced oligoclonal activation of MAGE-A3-specific CD4+ T cells.
372 19734225 It appeared that MAGE-A3 protein vaccination in the presence of adjuvant selectively expanded high avidity CD4+ T cells, whereas high avidity T cells disappeared after multiple vaccinations with MAGE-A3 protein alone.
