The Rational Design of T-Cell Epitopes With Enhanced Immunogenicityr-specific immune responses is supported, it remains a significant challenge to design cancer vaccine strategies that consistently overcome immunological tolerance in order to effectively activate and maintain therapeutic T-cell responses. Experimentation in the late 1980s and 1990s has resulted in

Identification of Tumor Antigens Using Subtraction and Microarrayss such as antibody and T cells from cancer patients. Genes identified via this integrated approach have the advantage of being tumoror tissue-specific and broadly expressed in cancers. Numerous tissue- and tumor-specific genes have been identified in prostate, breast, lung, and colon cancers using t

Escape of Tumors From the Immune Systemr human tumors to escape the immune system. In addition, current evidence supports a model by which this active tumor-mediated immunosuppression is largely the result of secretion of the potent immunosuppressive cytokine, transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß). In this review, the evidence supporting

Peptide-Based Vaccinesimmunization to foreign proteins normally elicits immunity to only a subset of potential epitopes, dominant epitopes, whereas other potentially immunogenic epitopes, subdominant epitopes, are ignored. There is evidence that T cells are tolerant to the dominant epitopes of self-proteins, but may resp

Alphaviral-Based Strategies for the Immunotherapy of Cancersses. Fewer studies have evaluated alphavirus vectors for their antitumor immunotherapy potential and all are preclinical. In contrast, DNA viruses, such as adenovirus or the pox viruses, have progressed to human cancer clinical trials, despite alphavirus vectors having distinct potential advantages
