BACKGROUND Most strategies in cancer immunotherapy are aimed at the induction of a strong cellular immune response against the tumor. Particularly, CD8+ T lymphocytes have been proven in multiple animal models to be critical for the eradication of solid tumors. METHODS We used a population of peripheral blood-derived antigen-presenting cells (APC), containing dendritic cells (DC), to generate prostate tumor-specific CD8+ T cells. Selected peptides from prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), a prostate tissue-specific antigen, were shown to bind HLA-A2. A high-affinity peptide was used to generate peptide-specific CD8+ cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) from the peripheral blood of healthy donors. RESULTS The obtained PAP-peptide-specific CTL lysed peptide-coated target cells, vaccinia-infected target cells, and HLA-A2-positive prostate-tumor cells in vitro in an antigen-specific manner. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that CTL precursors to the PAP gene product exist and could be potentially recruited to elicit an antitumor response. Thus, PAP is a suitable antigen for inclusion in prostate cancer vaccines.

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).

D000938 Antigen-Presenting Cells A heterogeneous group of immunocompetent cells that mediate the cellular immune response by processing and presenting antigens to the T-cells. Traditional antigen-presenting cells include MACROPHAGES; DENDRITIC CELLS; LANGERHANS CELLS; and B-LYMPHOCYTES. FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS are not traditional antigen-presenting cells, but because they hold antigen on their cell surface in the form of IMMUNE COMPLEXES for B-cell recognition they are considered so by some authors.
