pubmed:abstractText |
MUC-1/DF-3 remains an attractive target for vaccine therapy. It is overexpressed in the majority of human carcinomas and multiple myeloma. Clinical trials using MUC-1-based vaccines have demonstrated safety, clinical responses, and the induction of T-cell responses directed against MUC-1. Previous studies in experimental models and in clinical trials have demonstrated that altering the amino acid sequence of a "self" epitope can lead to the generation of an enhancer agonist epitope capable of eliciting stronger T-cell responses than the native epitope can.
