| Abstract | Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, underscoring the need for better therapies. Adoptive immunotherapy using genetically targeted T cells represents a promising new treatment for hematologic malignancies. However, solid tumors impose additional obstacles, including the lack of suitable targets for safe systemic therapy and the need to achieve effective T cell homing to sites of disease. Because EOC undergoes transcÅ lomic metastasis, both of these challenges may be circumvented by T cell administration to the peritoneal cavity. In this study, we describe such an immunotherapeutic approach for EOC, in which human T cells were targeted against the extended ErbB family, using a chimeric Ag receptor named T1E28z. T1E28z was coexpressed with a chimeric cytokine receptor named 4 ß (combination termed T4), enabling the selective ex vivo expansion of engineered T cells using IL-4. Unlike control T cells, T4(+) T cells from healthy donors and patients with EOC were activated by and destroyed ErbB(+) EOC tumor cell lines and autologous tumor cultures. In vivo antitumor activity was demonstrated in mice bearing established luciferase-expressing SKOV-3 EOC xenografts. Tumor regression was accompanied by mild toxicity, manifested by weight loss. Although efficacy was transient, therapeutic response could be prolonged by repeated T cell administration. Furthermore, prior treatment with noncytotoxic doses of carboplatin sensitized SKOV-3 tumors to T4 immunotherapy, promoting enhanced disease regression using lower doses of T4(+) T cells. By combining these approaches, we demonstrate that repeated administration of carboplatin followed by T4(+) T cells achieved optimum therapeutic benefit in the absence of significant toxicity, even in mice with advanced tumor burdens. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
