q
The immunoscreening of cDNA expression
libraries constructed from human tumour tissues with
antibodies in sera from cancer patents (SEREX:
serological identification of antigens by recombinant
expression cloning) provides a powerful approach to
identify immunogenic tumour antigens
they start the paper off by talking about CTL, MHC, and peptides
q
It would be surprising
if cancer antigens induced only a cellular
response and no antibodies. Furthermore, the development
of high-titre IgG requires CD4 T-cell help.
SEREX
a novel strategy using the antibody
repertoire of cancer patients for the molecular definition
of antigens was developed by Pfreundschuh and his
colleagues Sahin and Tu¨ reci 15
Human neoplasms elicit multiple specific immune responses in the
autologous host. paper
Their description of SEREX uses phage to present the tumor peptides
table 1 has the antigen categories identified
q
antigen overexpression can lead to immunogenicity as it
does in the case of HER-2/neu 36.
q
aetiologically
relevant gene products
^?definition of this?
of or relating to the physical study of causation
q
We have developed an array technique which can be
used to rapidly analyse humoral response of multiple
SEREX antigens using allogeneic sera.
q
antibodies in
human sera that react with bacterial or phage components
can be eliminated by preabsorption of the sera
with E. coli–phage lysate
they preabsorb antibodies against IgG as well
q
eukaryotic expression systems for SEREX
should be developed
