Research Problem

including drug resistance mutations

10% of therapy-naive patients already hold drug resistance mutations!!!

Hypothesis

Drug Resistance Mutation = Escape Variants

Previous Statistical Analysis:

Correlations of HLA-A & -B and drug resistance mutations

Results of Statistical Analysis

Confirm statistically obtained results by means of an

biological assay: ELISPOT

Samples of each indicated group

  • 2. Recruitment of Patients
  • 1. Design of Peptides
  • 3. ELISPOT assay

2 weeks incubation restimulation

  • 1. Design of Peptides: WT
  • Search databases for (potential) HLA restricted CTL

epitopes for 6 amino acid positions

  • Design overlapping WT peptides (length: 15AA) in order

to confirm epitopes

  • eg. 33

  • 1. Design of Peptide: Mutant
  • Design of mutant peptide (length: 10AA)

according to patients amino acid substitutions

e.g. described epitope at amino acid position 210

  • 2. Recruitment of Patients
  • 75 patients in statistical analysis

19 with corresponding HLA types and drug

resistance mutation

  • Problems, recruiting patients:

patients come from different clinics blood needs to be processed within 48h cells cannot be frozen and stored before ELISPOT

(5 samples lost)

cells cannot be cultured longer than 24h before

ELISPOT

  • 3. Detail ELISPOT: assay

coat plate with antibody incubate overnight Cells with or without (control) peptide add biotinylated antibody add streptavidin enzyme add substrate (AEC) to develop spots

Previous step: 2 weeks incubation

Result of a clinical follow up of therapy-experienced patients holding a L210F

Therapy-experienced (20):

  • 8 patients show mutations of TAM pathways

68.8% TAM I 31.2% TAM II Seems to push the drug

resistance development towards the TAM-I pathway

ELISPOT Results: remaining amino acid positions

  • 3/5 sharing only HLA-A* 01 recognized

peptide covering amino acid 33 in PR

  • 6/10 HLA-A* 03: 46 PR
  • 4/7 HLA-A* 11: 75 RT

Indications of epitopes within investigated

regions

Next steps

  • Further studies to confirm the presence of these

epitopes

  • Investigte the influence of mutations within epitopes
  • n T-cell activity
