Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of the ATM Kinase by Ionizing Radiation and Phosphorylation of p53

TL;DR: The p53 tumor suppressor protein is activated and phosphorylated on serine-15 in response to various DNA damaging agents, such as ionizing radiation, but not ultraviolet radiation as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of peptides bound to the class I MHC molecule HLA-A2.1 by mass spectrometry

TL;DR: Microcapillary high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry was used to fractionate and sequence subpicomolar amounts of peptides isolated from the MHC molecule HLA-A2.1.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA damage activates p53 through a phosphorylation–acetylation cascade

TL;DR: It is suggested that DNA damage enhances p53 activity as a transcription factor in part through carboxy-terminal acetylation that, in turn, is directed by amino- terminal phosphorylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a human melanoma antigen recognized by tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes associated with in vivo tumor rejection.

TL;DR: Since the administration of TIL1200 plus interleukin 2 resulted in regression of metastatic cancer in the autologous patient, gp100 is a possible tumor rejection antigen and may be useful for the development of immunotherapies for patients with melanoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the immunodominant peptides of the MART-1 human melanoma antigen recognized by the majority of HLA-A2-restricted tumor infiltrating lymphocytes.

TL;DR: One of the 9-mer peptides, AAGIGILTV, was most effective in sensitizing the T2 cells for TIL lysis and appears to be a very common immunogenic epitope for HLA-A2-restricted melanoma-specific TIL and may be useful for the development of immunotherapeutic strategies.
