Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090104186 | Melanoma-associated MHC class I associated oligopeptides and the uses thereof - The present invention relates to certain melanoma-associated oligopeptides that are recognized by CD8-positive cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) as peptide antigen and which elicit a CTL-induced lysis and/or apoptosis of tumor cells. The present invention also relates to the use of these melanoma-associated oligopeptides in cancer therapy. | 04-23-2009 |
20090203124 | MAGE-A3 PEPTIDES PRESENTED BY HLA-DR1 MOLECULES - The invention describes HLA class II binding peptides encoded by the MAGE tumor associated genes, as well as nucleic acids encoding such peptides and antibodies relating thereto. The peptides stimulate the activity and proliferation of CD4 | 08-13-2009 |
20100009437 | Isolated proteins MAGE-4 and MAGE-41 - The invention relates to nucleic acid molecules which code for the tumor rejection antigen precursor MAGE-3. Also disclosed are vectors, cell lines, and so forth, which utilize the nucleic acid molecule, and optionally, molecules coding for human leukocyte antigen HLA-A1. Uses of these materials in therapeutic and diagnostic contexts are also a part of the invention. | 01-14-2010 |
20100035267 | Detection of Individual T-Cell Reaction Patterns Against Tumor-Associated Antigens (TAA) in Tumor Patients as a Basis for the Individual Therapeutic Vaccination of Patients - The present invention relates to a method for identifying the preferential target antigens of antitumoural T-cells of a tumour patient, comprising: a) providing T-cells from the blood of at least one tumour patient, b) providing dendritic cell (DCs) and/or B-lymphocytes (BLCs) that are autologous for said tumour patient, wherein said DCs and BLCs were transfected beforehand with a selection of mRNAs encoding for T-cell-immunogenic tumour-associated antigens (TAA), and express these, c) contacting said T-cells with the DCs and/or BLCs, d) identifying of those T-cells that recognize antigens of the DCs and/or BLCs, and e) identifying of the preferential target antigens of antitumoural T-cells of the at least one tumour patient on the basis of the T-cells that recognize antigens of the DCs and/or BLCs. The method can furthermore comprise the expansion of the T-cells that recognize the antigens of the DCs and/or BLCs. The present invention furthermore relates to a method for producing an individualized tumour vaccine or individualized tumour therapeutic, as well as corresponding methods for treating a tumourous disease using the individualised tumour vaccine or individualised tumour therapeutic. | 02-11-2010 |
20150366957 | Melanoma-Associated MHC Class I Associated Oligopeptides and the Uses Thereof - The present invention relates to certain melanoma-associated oligopeptides that are recognized by CD8-positive cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) as peptide antigen and which elicit a CTL-induced lysis and/or apoptosis of tumor cells. The present invention also relates to the use of these melanoma-associated oligopeptides in cancer therapy. | 12-24-2015 |
