摘要:
The invention provides the use of an enzyme and a prodrug in the manufacture of a medicament for use in inducing an anti-tumour immune response in a human patient.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of monitoring the efficacy of an immunotherapy in a mammalian subject, wherein the subject has been administered an immunotherapy, wherein the immunotherapy comprises a viral vector containing a polynucleotide encoding an antigen, wherein the viral vector is capable of transducing cells in the mammalian subject to cause the cells to express the antigen; the method comprising: (b) measuring, from a biological sample isolated from the subject, an immune response of the subject to the antigen and comparing the immune response of the subject to the antigen to a reference measurement of immune response to the antigen; (c) measuring, from a biological sample isolated from the subject, an immune response of the subject to the viral vector and comparing the immune response of the subject to the viral vector to a reference measurement of immune response to the viral vector; and (d) determining efficacy based on the comparisons of (b) and (c), wherein an elevated immune response to the antigen and a reduced immune response to the viral vector are indicative of an effective immunotherapy.

摘要:
There is provided an MHC class II peptide epitope from 5T4 antigen. In particular, there is provided a peptide epitope of 5T4 which comprises one of the following: (i) the minimal epitope from the amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 2; (ii) the minimal epitope from the amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 3; (iii) a minimal epitope from the region 281-420 of 5T4. There is also provided a vaccine comprising such a peptide (or precursor thereof) and its use to treat and/or prevent a disease, in particular a cancerous disease.

摘要:
A method of treating or preventing disease, said method comprising administering to a subject, simultaneously, sequentially or separately, an antigen and a chemotherapeutic agent or agents comprising the steps of: administering the chemotherapeutic agent or agents, and administering an antigen up to 6 weeks after the chemotherapeutic agent.

摘要:
A method for determining a prognosis for benefit for a cancer patient receiving immunotherapy treatment involving (a) measuring a level of platelets and haemoglobin in a sample from the cancer patient, and (b) comparing the level of platelets in the sample to a reference level of platelets and comparing the level of haemoglobin in the sample to a reference level of haemoglobin, wherein a lower level of platelets and higher level of haemoglobin in the sample correlates with increased benefit to the patient.
