  • Methods and compositions for the stimulation of human immunodeficiency virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes employing autologous antigen-peripheral blood mononuclear cells
    Publication number: 20030086911
    Abstract: A novel method of immunization, which can be used either prophylactically or therapeutically, is described. The method comprises coating of antigen presenting cells with a peptide and administering the peptide-coated cells to a mammalian subject to provoke an immune response. Useful peptides include peptides derived from viral or bacterial antigens or mutant oncogene or tumor suppressor gene products. Immunogens, constituted by the peptide-coated cells, are also described.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 19, 2002
    Publication date: May 8, 2003
    Applicant: Department of Health and Human Services
    Inventors: Jay Berzofsky, Michael Yanuck, David Carbone, John Minna, Hidemi Takahashi
