  • Patent number: 10557118
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for preventing or treating neoplastic disease in a mammalian subject. A composition is provided which comprises an enriched immune cell population reactive to a human endogenous retrovirus type E antigen on a tumor cell. A method of treating a neoplastic disease in a mammalian subject is provided which comprises administering to a mammalian subject a composition comprising an enriched immune cell population reactive to a human endogenous retrovirus type E antigen, in an amount effective to reduce or eliminate the neoplastic disease or to prevent its occurrence or recurrence.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 2019
    Date of Patent: February 11, 2020
    Assignee: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services

  • Publication number: 20060111551
    Abstract: The present invention provides a peptide having HTLV-I-specific CTL-inducing activity that can induce cytotoxic T cells (CTL) having anti-tumor effect to human T cell leukemia virus-I (HTLV-I) tumor such as adult T-cell leukemia (ATL); a vaccine to induce immune response by using these; a diagnostic agent to examine immune function or the like. By investigating cellular immune response of ATL patient having obtained complete remission after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a HLA-identical sibling donor, HTLV-I-specific CTLs were induced only to HLA-A2 restricted Tax301-309 epitope that have proliferated actively by responding to auto-HTLV-I infected T cells constructed in vitro before HSCT, in the culture solution of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of post-HSCT ATL patient. This suggests that this epitope was strongly expressed in the patient body suggesting that the epitope is useful as vaccine antigen.
