Induction of a helper T (TH)-cell response is a critical element in the generation of anti-tumor immunity. The majority of immunotherapeutic approaches have so far been concerned with the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). This also accounts for gp100, a melanoma-associated protein which

This study addressed the notion that the progression of cervical cancer is associated with a T-helper 2 (TH2) immunodeviation by analysing cytokine expression in 60 cervical biopsy specimens, spanning the spectrum from normal cervical tissue to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs). The
Bee venom phospholipase A2 (PLA) represents the major allergen and antigen in allergic and non-allergic individuals sensitized to bee sting. We have studied specific activation of peripheral T cells by different structural and conformational variants of PLA and secretion of cytokines regulating IgE
In order to maintain in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of antigen (Ag)-specific T cells in adoptive immunotherapy for a prolonged period, we constructed a fusion protein (OVA/IL-2) containing ovalbumin (OVA) as a model tumor Ag, covalently linked to murine interleukin-2 (IL-2). The OVA/IL-2 protein produc
