An indirect ELISA for the detection of anti-NY-ESO-1 antibodies in cancer patients and for monitoring cancer therapy
Early diagnosis of cancer offers the best chance for effective treatment. Serological tests for the detection of cancer testis antigens (CTA) could aid in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment evaluation. Since NY-ESO-1 induces a strong immune response in several cancer types, it is considered an attractive CTA for antibody assay development. The full-length NY-ESO-1 protein was recombinantly produced in Escherichia coli, purified, and used to develop an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of NY-ESO-1 specific antibodies. This ELISA was optimized and validated using serum samples collected from 78 confirmed cancer patients and control sera from healthy donors (n = 20) and rheumatoid arthritis patients (n = 43). The optimized NY-ESO-1 ELISA provided a sensitivity of 96.2 % in cancer patients and a specificity of 100 % for non-cancer donors. A follow-up study of patients undergoing cancer treatment indicated that the antibody levels were responsive to therapy, becoming very low or negative after successful treatment and rising again before tumor metastasis recurrence was confirmed. Comparative peptide ELISA using overlapping peptides of the full NY-ESO-1 sequence did not improve the detection rate, but did reveal common epitopes. The NY-ESO-1 protein-based ELISA could be used to detect potential cancer patients and is useful for monitoring cancer therapy and tumor recurrence after treatment.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Immunology publishes original articles, reviews and commentaries on all areas of immunology, with a particular focus on description of cellular, biochemical or genetic mechanisms underlying immunological phenomena. Studies on all model organisms, from invertebrates to humans, are suitable. Examples include, but are not restricted to:
Infection, autoimmunity, transplantation, immunodeficiencies, inflammation and tumor immunology
Mechanisms of induction, regulation and termination of innate and adaptive immunity
Intercellular communication, cooperation and regulation
Intracellular mechanisms of immunity (endocytosis, protein trafficking, pathogen recognition, antigen presentation, etc)
Mechanisms of action of the cells and molecules of the immune system
Structural analysis
Development of the immune system
Comparative immunology and evolution of the immune system
"Omics" studies and bioinformatics
Vaccines, biotechnology and therapeutic manipulation of the immune system (therapeutic antibodies, cytokines, cellular therapies, etc)
Technical developments.
