Dissecting cytotoxic T cell responses towards the NY-ESO-1 protein by peptide/MHC-specific antibody fragments

Abstract

NY-ESO-1 is a germ cell antigen aberrantly expressed by different tumor types that elicits strong humoral and cellular immune responses, representing one of the most promising candidates for vaccination of cancer patients. A detailed analysis of CD8(+) T cells generated in vaccine trials using NY-ESO-1-derived peptides (157-165 and 157-167) revealed that the dominant immune response was directed against a cryptic epitope (159-167) diverting the immune response from tumor recognition. Only CTL reactivity to the NY-ESO-1(157-165) peptide appeared to be capable of lysing NY-ESO-1/HLA-A0201-expressing tumor cells. To study the process of NY-ESO-1 peptide presentation by tumor cells in more detail we generated a high-affinity (K(D)=60 nM) antibody fragment that specifically recognizes the NY-ESO-1(157-165) peptide/HLA-A0201 complex. Peptide variants such as the NY-ESO-1(157-167) peptide or the cryptic NY-ESO-1(159-167) peptide were not recognized. The antibody fragment blocked in a dose-dependent fashion the recognition of NY-ESO-1/HLA-A2-positive tumor cells by NY-ESO-1(157-165) peptide-specific CD8(+) T cells. This antibody fragment is a novel reagent that binds with TCR-like specificity to the NY-ESO-1(157-165)/HLA-A2 complex thu...Continue Reading

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.

Cancer Vaccines

Cancer vaccines are vaccines that either treat existing cancer or prevent development of a cancer.
