    Abstract: Virus-specific CD4 + T cell help and CD8 + cytotoxic T cell responses are critical for the maintenance of effective immunity in chronic viral infections. The importance of the CD4 + T cells has been documented in HIV infection. A T1-specific CD4 + T cell line from a healthy volunteer immunized with a canarypox vector expressing gpl20 has been developed. The cell line was restricted to DR13, which is common in the U.S. in both Caucasians and African-Americans and is one of the major haplotypes in Africans. Amino acid substitutions in the T1 epitope were made to induce a stronger epitope-specific CD4 + T cell response than the original epitope resulting in an improved CD4 epitope. A polypeptide comprising the enhanced CD4 epitope can be used as a component in compositions either alone or in combination with other adjuvants and other immunogenic compositions to induce a more effective immune response to HIV infection.

    Abstract: Methods are provided herein to prevent a tumor recurrence in a subject, involving administering to the subject an agent that blocks the TGF-beta signaling pathway. In one embodiment, the agent inhibits the immunosuppressive effects of TGF-beta. Also provided is a method of enhancing an immune respond in a subject to inhibit recurrence of a tumor by administering an agent which blocks the TGF-beta signaling pathway. A method of enhancing the activity of an immune cell to inhibit recurrence of a tumor by contacting a TGF-beta receptor-expressing cell with an agent which blocks the TGF-beta signaling pathway is also provided, as are methods of screening for an agent that inhibits or measurably reduces the recurrence of a tumor.
