Plasma cell antigens in human multiple myeloma.

M R Mackenzie, T G Paglieroni

    The Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine
    |May 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers found evidence of tumor-specific antigens on human myeloma plasma cells. These antigens elicit immune responses in patients with multiple myeloma, suggesting potential targets for cancer therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Oncology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Tumor-specific antigens have been identified in mouse plasmacytoma models.
    • The presence and role of such antigens in human myeloma remain less understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence of tumor-specific antigens on human myeloma plasma cells.
    • To determine if these antigens can elicit an immune response in patients with multiple myeloma.

    Main Methods:

    • Mixed leukocyte cultures using myeloma plasma cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from myeloma patients.
    • Passive cytotoxicity assays using chromium-51 release from target cells coated with myeloma plasma cell extracts.

    Main Results:

    • Myeloma plasma cells stimulated autologous and allogeneic PBL from myeloma patients, unlike cells from normal or benign conditions.
    • PBL from myeloma patients demonstrated significant chromium-51 release from target cells, indicating an immune response.

    Conclusions:

    • Human myeloma plasma cells possess material resembling tumor-specific antigens.
    • These antigens can elicit immune responses in both autologous and allogeneic myeloma patients, indicating their potential relevance in multiple myeloma immunology.
