Patent

CA 2245702

The present invention discloses that the normal melanogenic gene, gp75 gene, encodes a gene product, a 24 amino acid peptide of ORF3, which is processed to an antigenic cancer peptide recognized by T lymphocytes. The cancer peptide of the invention derived from ORF3 is recognized by cancer antigen specific T lymphocytes as a tumor rejection antigen. The present invention relates to the identification of a second tumor antigen recognized by an HLA-A31 restricted CTL clone derived from the TIL586 cell line. This antigen derived from the TRP- 2 protein tumor antigen and peptides thereof are capable of sensitizing target cells for lysis by a CTL clone at 1 nM peptide concentration. Modified peptides were also recognized by the CTL clone. The products of these genes are promising candidates for immunotherapeutic strategies for the treatment and diagnosis of patients with cancer.

La présente invention révèle que le gène mélanogénique normal, gène gp75, code un produit génique, un peptide à 24 acides aminés de ORF3, lequel est traité en un peptide du cancer antigénique reconnu par les lymphocytes T. Le peptide du cancer de l'invention dérivé de ORF3 est reconnu par des lymphocytes T spécifiques aux antigènes du cancer comme étant un antigène de rejet des tumeurs. La présente invention concerne l'identification d'un second antigène tumoral reconnu par un clone de lymphocytes T cytotoxiques à restriction HLA-A31 dérivé de la lignée cellulaire TIL586. Cet antigène dérivé de l'antigène tumoral de protéine TRT-2 et ses peptides sont capables de sensibiliser des cellules cibles destinées à une lyse par un clone de lymphocytes T cytotoxiques, à une concentration peptidique de 1nM. Le clone de lymphocytes T cytotoxiques a également reconnu des peptides modifiés. Les produits de ces gènes sont des candidats prometteurs pour des stratégies immunothérapeutiques de traitement et de diagnostic de patients atteint du cancer.
