1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In order to broaden the possibility for anti-HER-2/neu (HER-2) immune targeting, it is important to identify HLA-A24 restricted peptide epitopes derived from HER-2, since HLA-A24 is one of the most common alleles in Japanese and Asian people. In the present study, we have screened HER-2-derived, HLA-A24 binding peptides for cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes. A panel of HER-2-derived peptides with HLA-A24 binding motifs and the corresponding analogs designed to enhance HLA-A24 binding affinity were selected. Identification of HER-2-reactive and HLA-A24 restricted CTL epitopes were performed by a reverse immunology approach. To induce HER-2-reactive and HLA-A24 restricted CTLs, PBMCs from healthy donors were repeatedly stimulated with monocytes-derived, mature DCs pulsed with HER-2 peptide. Subsequent peptide-induced T cells were tested for the specificity by enzyme linked immunospot, cytotoxicity and tetramer assays. CTL clones were then obtained from the CTL lines by limiting dilution. Of the peptides containing HLA-A24 binding motifs, 16 peptides (nine mers) including wild type peptides (IC50 <1,000 nM) and substituted analog peptides (IC50 <50 nM) were selected for the present study. Our studies show that an analog peptide, HER-2(905AA), derived from HER-2(905) could efficiently induce HER-2-reactive and HLA-A24 restricted CTLs. The reactivity of the HER-2(905AA)-induced CTL (CTL905AA) was confirmed by different CTL assays. The CTL905AA clones also were able to lyse HER-2(+), HLA-A24(+) tumor cells and cytotoxicity could be significantly reduced in cold target inhibition assays using cold targets pulsed with the HER-2(905) wild type peptide as well as the inducing HER-2(905AA) analog peptide. A newly identified HER-2(905) peptide epitope is naturally processed and presented as a CTL epitope on HER-2 overexpressing tumor cells, and an MHC anchor-substituted analog, HER-2(905AA), can efficiently induce HER-2-specific, HLA-A24 restricted CTLs.
