Research Abstract |
Method of antibody titer against KK-LC-1 by ELISA using peptide of KK-LC-1 is established. Two patients showed high antibody titer against KK-LC-1 antigen. In these cases, we tried to identify a new epitope in the context of HLA-A2 or HLA-A24 restriction by the Reverse Immunology method, but it was not possible. Therefore, using the lymph node lymphocytes of an autologous patient, the CTL restricted HLA-A2 could be induced by a method of a peptide pulse to dendritic cells, and the new epitope could be identified.
