    摘要: The present inventors worked on elucidating the mechanism of antigen cross-presentation by dendritic cells, and revealed that foreign antigens taken up in dendritic cells are degraded by proteasomes after undergoing polyubiquitination. Based on the novel finding that polyubiquitination is involved in cross-presentation, the promotion of polyubiquitination was attempted by a number of methods, and the promotion of antigen presentation was confirmed. These methods enable the production of dendritic cells effective for inducing CTL activation.

    摘要: The present inventors worked on elucidating the mechanism of antigen cross-presentation by dendritic cells, and revealed that foreign antigens taken up in dendritic cells are degraded by proteasomes after undergoing polyubiquitination. They discovered a positive correlation between the uptake amount of an antigenic protein by dendritic cells or the level of polyubiquitination and the level of antigen presentation of the antigenic protein. Based on these findings, methods were developed for predicting the intensity of cross-presentation of an anti genic protein by measuring the amount of antigenic protein taken up or polyubiquitinated protein. The use of these methods allows selecting antigenic proteins that are readily presented as antigens from among a number of proteins. The methods of the present invention enable suitable cancer immune vaccines to be provided through selection of more suitable cancer-specific proteins.

    摘要: An objective of the present invention is to provide methods for selecting candidate peptides presented on the surface of cancer cells following binding to MHC class I molecules, wherein the peptides are involved in the stimulation of T cell immunity (cellular immunity). The present inventors discovered a new principle of MHC I-mediated antigen presentation in which a T cell antigen epitope is more efficiently presented on MHC I molecules when it is positioned at the N-terminal side than when positioned at the C-terminal side.

    摘要: A search was conducted for functional antibodies that endogenously regulate cytokines, focusing on the relationship between inflammatory diseases and cytokines. Mice were immunized with a human peripheral blood monocyte fraction and the obtained antibodies were examined for a cytokine-regulating effect. As a result, of these antibodies, antibody #33 was confirmed to inhibit the production of numerous typical inflammatory cytokines. When, at the same time, the promoting effect of antibody #33 on IL-10 production was examined, it was revealed that antibody #33 has an effect of accelerating IL-10 production but no activity to induce an excessive IL-10 production. The antigen of this promising antibody was verified to be CD61. Therefore, it is conceivable that when anti-CD61 antibodies are applied to the treatment of inflammatory diseases, they would become pharmaceuticals with both a definite efficacy and a high safety.

PCLP1-positive cells obtained from the hematopoietic tissues of an individual can be cultured for a long time, and during culture they produce large quantities of hematopoietic stem cells or vascular endothelial precursor cells. The hematopoietic stem cells or vascular endothelial precursor cells obtainable by the present invention can be utilized for regenerative medicine.
