WT1 Peptide Cancer Vaccine for Patients with Hematopoietic Malignancies and Solid Cancers by Yoshihiro Oka, Akihiro Tsuboi, Olga A. Elisseeva, Hiroko Nakajima, Fumihiro Fujiki, Manabu Kawakami, Toshiaki Shirakata, Sumiyuki Nishida, Naoki Hosen, Yusuke Oji, Ichiro Kawase, Haruo Sugiyama

“…It was also demonstrated that mice immunized with the WT1 peptide rejected challenges by WT1-expressing cancer cells and survived with no signs of autoaggression to normal organs that physiologically expressed WT1. Furthermore, we and others detected IgM and IgG WT1 antibodies in patients with hematopoietic malignancies, indicating that the WT1 protein was highly immunogenic, and that immunoglobulin class-switch-inducing, WT1-specific, cellular immune responses were elicited in these patients. …”
