摘要:
The present invention relates to isolation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones. In particular, the present invention relates to isolated CTL clones that are specific for proteins of the MAGE family. The CTL clones of the present invention have been isolated by successive steps of stimulation and testing of lymphocytes with antigen presenting cells which present antigens derived from different expression systems, e.g., from recombinant Yersinia, recombinant Salmonella, or recombinant viruses. The present invention further relates to antigenic peptides as well as the peptide/HLA complexes which are recognized by the isolated CTL clones.
摘要:
The invention relates to an isolated DNA sequence which codes for an antigen expressed by tumor cells which is recognized by cytotoxic T cells, leading to lysis of the tumor which expresses it. Also described are cells transfected by the DNA sequence, and various therapeutic and diagnostic uses arising out of the properties of the DNA and the antigen for which it codes.
摘要:
A method for treating human tumours by gene therapy is disclosed. In particular, defective recombinant viruses with a sequence coding for a human tumour-specific antigen, and the use thereof for treating or preventing human tumours, as well as producing specific cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs) in vitro or ex vivo, are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising said viruses, particularly in injectable form, are also disclosed.
摘要:
The invention relates to cDNA molecules which were isolated and identified in accordance with a method which was developed to facilitate the level of gene expression. Also described are proteins and peptides based upon these cDNA molecules, as well as various diagnostic and therapeutic uses of these materials.
摘要:
The invention relates to members of the MAGE-B family of nucleic acid molecules. These molecules differ from the previously described MAGE nucleic acid molecules in that members of the MAGE-Xp family do not hybridize to the previously identified MAGE sequences. Further, the members of the MAGE-B family are found on the Xp arm of the X chromosome rather than on the Xq chromosome, as was the case with the previously identified MAGE genes.
