Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we aimed to elucidate the establishment of prostatic antigen presenting ability in dendritic cells. Using our original fusion proteins consisted of prostatic antigens (PAP, PSA, Prostate specific membrane antigen, Melanoma associated antigen-A4, Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer) and cytokines, and cancer-bearing mouse models, we disclosed that the induced antigen-specific antibody may be involved in the cancer suppressive effects. We are now establishing the in vitro and in vivo research systems focusing the endocytosis and intracellular localization of MHC class 1 and class 2, and cancer-antigen crosspresentation. We further continue this research to develop novel medicines for prostate cancer in terms of the anti-cancer immunitiy.
