The human 5T4 (h5T4) oncofoetal antigen is expressed by a wide variety of human carcinomas including colorectal, ovarian, gastric and renal, but rarely on normal tissues. Its restricted expression on tumour tissues as well as its association with tumour progression and bad prognosis has driven the development of a MVA-based vaccine (TroVax) which has been tested in several early phase clinical trials and these studies have led to the start of a phase III trial in renal cell carcinoma patients. We have recently shown that CD8(+) T cells recognizing h5T4 can be generated in the absence of CD4(+) T cells from peripheral blood lymphocytes of human healthy individuals.
