Objective To analyze the relationship between the CTL response of NY-ESO-1 in gastric and esophageal cancer and survival rate in Chinese in order to provide data to develop a vaccine against the NY-ESO-1 positive cancer. Methods One hundred and twelve gastric cancer specimens and seventy-six esophageal cancer specimens were analyzed for the expression of NY-ESO-1 mRNA by RT-PCR. Pentamer staining were performed to analyze the frequency of NY-ESO-1
157-165
specific CTL in
NY-ESO-1/HLA-A2 positive patients. The correlation of CTL response and survival rate were analyzed. Results About 13.4% of the gastric cancer and 36.8% of the esophageal cancer were NY-ESO-1 positive. There were 23 patients with NY-ESO-1/HLA-A2 double positive. Frequency of Pentamer staining analysis and survival rate of these NY-ESO-1/HLA-A2 double positive patients indicated that high survival rate correlate with strong cellular immune response. Conclusion NY-ESO-1 expression is found in some of gastric and esophageal cancer
and NY-ESO-1
157-165
peptide can be regarded as a candidate for vaccination due to their expression and CTL response.
