PG - 279-86 AB - We have previously shown the importance of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2 and the proto-oncogene HER2/neu in the T cell recognition of ovarian cancer. Since these proteins are ubiquitously expressed in epithelial-derived tumors, we have acid-eluted HLA-bound peptides from ovarian cancers, fractionated the peptides, and reconstituted T cell epitopes on the HLA-A2+ T2 cell line to determine if common tumor-associated antigens exist among HLA-A2+, HER2/neu+ epithelial cancers. We demonstrate that tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) generated from tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes isolated from three ovarian, two breast, and two non-small-cell lung cancers recognize at least three of the same peptide fractions from multiple elutions. One of these peptide fractions coelutes with a HER2/neu-derived peptide which has been shown recently to be recognized by these same CTL. These findings demonstrate that a common peptide-based tumor vaccine is theoretically possible for many different epithelial-derived cancers.
