Natural antigenic peptides from squamous cell carcinoma recognized by autologous HLA-DR8-restricted CD4+ T cells.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A large number of human tumor antigens recognized by CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) have been identified. Some of them have been employed in clinical trials and have achieved some objective responses. However, little is known about those that are recognized by CD4+ T cells, except for a very few that were identified from melanomas. Previously, we reported that an oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cell line, OSC-20, was effectively lysed by HLA-DRB1*08032 (HLA-DR8)-restricted autologous CD4+ T cell line, TcOSC-20. In this study, we performed two steps of chromatographic purification of the tumor cell lysate in combination with mass spectrometry. We found one reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) fraction that was effectively recognized by the T cells. We analyzed the fraction by nano-liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) and found six representative ions. We could determine the primary amino acid sequence of each of the six ions. Three of them contained a potential HLA-DR8 binding motif, and TcOSC-20 showed a rather strong cytotoxic response to one of the synthetic peptides, namely, amino acid residues 321-336 of human alpha-enolase. Thus, several gene products of squamous cancer cells are endogenously processed and may be presented on HLA class II molecules, so that they could constitute target molecules for autologous CD4+ T cells.
