PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cell therapy method for treating tumors. SOLUTION: Artificial antigen presenting cells [AAPC; (Drosophila melanogaster)] transfected with human HLA class I and defined accessory molecules are used to stimulate CD8+T cells from both normal donors and cancer patients. The class I molecules expressed to a high density on the surface of the Drosophila cells are empty, and allow for efficient addition of a plurality of peptides that brings the generation of polyclonal responses recognizing tumor cells endogenously expressing the specific peptides. The generated responses are robust, antigen-specific and reproducible when the peptide epitope is a defined immunogen. The artificial antigen expression system can be adapted to treat most cancers in a significant majority of the population. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of cell therapy for the treatment of tumor, especially the treatment of metastatic melanoma. SOLUTION: This method of cell therapy of a test subject comprises: steps of administration of an effective amount of interferon-α enhancing the expression of a tumor antigen on the surface of tumor to the test subject accompanying melanoma; and inoculation of an effective amount of own cytotoxic T lymphocyte having specificity to the melanoma-related target antigen to the test subject. A method of obtaining the cytotoxic T lymphocyte is also disclosed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cytotoxic lymphocyte specific for non-tumor antigen to treat autoimmune and allergic diseases. SOLUTION: Provided are an isolated CD8 + T cell having cytotoxicity specific for a target cell, wherein the target cell has one or more non-tumor self-antigen peptides bonded to an MHC class I molecule on the surface of the target cell and the self-antigen peptide is a peptide derived from IgE protein or a peptide derived from CD40L protein; and a non-natural antigen presenting cell derived from Drosophila melanogaster and containing the MHC class I molecule on a cell surface and at least one antigen peptide from human IgE or human CD40L.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for isolating, stimulating and expanding a naive cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursor cell (CTLp) to an antigen-specific effector capable of lysing a tumor cell in vivo, to solve the problem wherein T cell response is often diminished in human with a compromised immune system. SOLUTION: The present ex vivo protocol produces a fully functional effector. Artificial antigen presenting cells (AAPCs; Drosophila melanogaster) transfected with human HLA class I and defined accessory molecules, are used to stimulate CD8 + T cells from normal donors and cancer patients. The class I molecules expressed to a high density on the surface of the Drosophila cells are empty, enabling efficient loading of multiple peptides that results in the generation of polyclonal responses recognizing tumor cells endogenously expressing specific peptides.
