2003 JUN 18 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Immunization with tumor-derived endoplasmic reticulum chaperone grp170 elicited a tumor-specific CD8+ T-cell response and reduced pulmonary metastatic disease.

"Glucose-regulated protein (grp) 170 is a molecular chaperone localized in endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which has been demonstrated to interact with the peptides translocated by transporter associated with antigen presentation (TAP). In our study, we have evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of tumor-derived grp170 against the highly metastatic and poorly immunogenic murine melanoma B16F10," investigators in the United States report.

"Immunization of mice with grp 170 preparations from autologous tumor significantly delayed progression of the primary cancer and reduced established pulmonary metastases, which was associated with the prolonged survival of metastases-bearing mice," stated Xiang-Yang Wang and collaborators at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York. "However, grp 170 from normal liver or antigenically distinct tumor failed to exhibit therapeutic effect. In addition, tumor-derived grp 170 elicited a potent cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response specific for B16F10 tumor, which correlates with in vivo protective effects.

"Adoptive transfer of splenocytes obtained from B16F10-grp170-primed animals remarkably suppressed pulmonary metastases. Depletion of either CD4+ or CD8+ T cells in priming phase significantly abrogated the ...
