Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-MUC1 class I restricted CTLs in metastatic breast cancer patients immunized with a synthetic MUC1 peptide
Mark A. Reddish,G D MacLean,R. Rao Koganty,June Kan-Mitchell,Vicky Jones,Malcolm S. Mitchell,B. Michael Longenecker +6 more
TL;DR: The generation of M UC1‐specific CTLs required only a 6‐day in vitro stimulation of patients' T‐cells with synthetic MUC1‐peptide‐pulsed autologous APCs and the assay for CTL activity was a 4 hr 51Cr release from labeled adenocarcinoma target cells.
Journal Article
Immune sera and monoclonal antibodies define two configurations for the sialyl Tn tumor antigen.
Shengle Zhang,Linda A. Walberg,Shunichiro Ogata,Steven H. Itzkowitz,R. Rao Koganty,Mark A. Reddish,Sham Gandhi,B. Michael Longenecker,Kenneth O. Lloyd,Philip O. Livingston +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that sTn is recognized at the tumor cell surface in at least two quite distinct configurations, as clustered and nonclustered arrays.
The biological role of mucins in cellular interactions and immune regulation: prospects for cancer
TL;DR: A novel immunoregulatory role for MUC1 has been suggested by experiments demonstrating that soluble M UC1 induces T-cell unresponsiveness, and that T cells appear to express and secrete MUC 1 following their activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The biological role of mucins in cellular interactions and immune regulation: prospects for cancer immunotherapy
TL;DR: Among the human mucins, MUC1 is unique in its cell-surface transmembrane expression and its apparent signal-transduction functions, which makes it an attractive target for immunotherapy as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mucin 1-specific immunotherapy in a mouse model of spontaneous breast cancer.
Pinku Mukherjee,Cathy S. Madsen,Amelia R. Ginardi,Teresa L. Tinder,Fred Jacobs,Joanne Parker,Babita Agrawal,B. Michael Longenecker,Sandra J. Gendler +8 more
TL;DR: Using an injectable breast cancer model, the authors show that targeting a single tumor antigen may not be an effective antitumor treatment, but that immunization with dendritic cells fed with whole tumor lysate is effective in breaking tolerance and protecting mice from subsequent tumor challenge.
