Research Abstract |
We assessed immunoglobulins reactive to CTL epitopes peptides derived from tumor-associated antigens in healthy donors and cancer patients. The sum of immunoglobulins reactive CTL epitopes peptides were well correlated with better overall survival in cancer patients. Our results suggested that measurement of immunoglobulins specific to CTL epitope peptides may provide a new biomarker for overall survival of patients with cancer. From this analysis of anti-peptide antibodies in vitro and vivo, we found that immunoglobulins specific to CTL epitope peptide may play a roll to enhance and induce tumor antigen specific cytotoxic T cells.
