摘要:
This invention uses our knoeledge of the mechanisms by which antigen is recognized by T cells to identify and prepare HER2/neu epitopes, and to develop epitope-based vaccines directed towards HERS2/neu-bearing tumors. More specifically, this application communicates our discovery of pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

This invention uses our knowledge of the mechanisms by which antigen is recognized by T cells to identify and prepare carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) epitopes, and to develop epitope-based vaccines directed towards CEA-bearing tumors. More specifically, this application communicates our discovery of pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
摘要:
Methods for activating cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vitro are presented in conjunction with methods for using the activated CTL for therapy in vivo. Additionally, a method for killing specific CTL in vivo is presented using antigen presenting cells which were modified in vitro.
摘要:
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-stimulating peptides induce HLA-restricted responses to hepatitis B virus antigens. The peptides, derived from CTL epitopic regions of both HBV surface and nucleocapsid antigens, are particularly useful in the treatment and prevention of HBV infection, including the treatment of chronically infected HBV carriers. The peptides can be formulated as HBV vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions, such as lipid-containing compositions for enhancing the HLA-restricted CTL responses. The peptides are also useful in diagnostic methods, such as predicting which HBV-infected individuals are prone to developing chronic infection.
