Research Abstract |
Wilms' tumor gene WT1 is overexpressed in leukemia and almost all types of solid tumors. Therefore, WT1 is a pan-tumor marker and pan-tumor-associated antigen. WT1 mRNA quantitative assay, which can detect minimal residual disease of luekamia at high sensitivity, has been developed and covered by national health insurance from 2007. Furthermore, clinical trials of WT1 peptide-based immunotherapy was begun in 2001 and clinical effect has been showing. This immunotherapy has been developing in Europe and USA and drug product is in progress.
