3070 Background: The apoptosis inhibitor protein Survivin is an attractive target for a cancer vaccine because of its differential overexpression by most human tumors, its importance for tumor survival, and its demonstrated immunogenicity. To examine Survivin’s potential as a vaccine target for pancreatic cancer (PC), we evaluated the presence of Survivin-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) in PC patients and assessed the specific killing of HLA-A*0201+ human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines in vitro by Survivin-specific CTL. Methods: Mononuclear cells from the peripheral blood (PBMC) of PC patients and normal donors and Survivin peptides were used to generate Survivin-specific CTLs in vitro. The presence of Survivin-specific CTLs was evaluated by IFN-γ ELISPOT analysis. Recognition of human PC cell lines (e.g., Panc-1 and CF-Pac-1) was analyzed by 51Cr release assays. Results: Multiple CTL lines were generated from different donors against a number of Survivin 9-mer and 10-mer peptides, including Sur5–14, Sur95–104, and Sur96–104 and altered forms of these peptides with enhanced HLA-A*0201 binding. Sur5–14 (TLPPAWQPFL) and new modified mSur95–104 (ELMLGEFLKL) peptides could generate specific CTL from the PBMC of most donors, and the resulting CTL showed cytotoxicity against Survivin peptide-pulsed Panc-1 and CF-Pac-1 in an HLA-A2-dependent manner. We found for the first time that mSur95–104 could elicit CTL activity that cross-reacted with wild-type peptide and 9-mer Sur96–104 in IFN-γ ELISPOT assays. In our preliminary analysis, we detected Survivin peptide-specific CTLs in four of five PC patients for Sur5–14 and three of five for mSur95–104. All five PC patients had a positive response to a pool of A2 peptides as positive controls, indicating their immune competence. Conclusions: CTLs specific for human Survivin peptide Sur5–14 and the modified peptides mSur95–104 were detected in majority of the PC patients tested. Further, Survivin-specific CTLs killed pancreatic carcinoma cell lines in vitro. Our results suggest that these two peptides are potential vaccines for the treatment of PC.
