Application of the pMHC array to characterise tumour antigen specific T cell populations in leukaemia patients at disease diagnosis (2015)
Journal Article
Brooks, S. E., Bonney, S. A., Lee, C., Publicover, A., Khan, G., Smits, E. L., …Guinn, B. A. (2015). Application of the pMHC array to characterise tumour antigen specific T cell populations in leukaemia patients at disease diagnosis. PLoS ONE, 10(10), Article e0140483. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0140483

Immunotherapy treatments for cancer are becoming increasingly successful, however to further improve our understanding of the T-cell recognition involved in effective responses and to encourage moves towards the development of personalised treatments...

Analogue peptides for the immunotherapy of human acute myeloid leukemia (2015)
Journal Article
Hofmann, S., Mead, A., Malinovskis, A., Hardwick, N. R., & Guinn, B. A. (2015). Analogue peptides for the immunotherapy of human acute myeloid leukemia. Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy, 64(11), 1357-1367. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00262-015-1762-9

The use of peptide vaccines, enhanced by adjuvants, has shown some efficacy in clinical trials. However, responses are often short-lived and rarely induce notable memory responses. The reason is that self-antigens have already been presented to the i... Read More about Analogue peptides for the immunotherapy of human acute myeloid leukemia.

A novel zinc finger gene, ZNF465, is inappropriately expressed in acute myeloid leukaemia cells (2015)
Journal Article
Collin, J. F., Wells, J. W., Czepulkowski, B., Lyne, L., Duriez, P. J., Banham, A. H., …Guinn, B. A. (2015). A novel zinc finger gene, ZNF465, is inappropriately expressed in acute myeloid leukaemia cells. Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer, 54(5), 288-302. https://doi.org/10.1002/gcc.22242

To increase our knowledge of leukaemia‐associated antigens, especially in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) M4, we prepared a phage display cDNA library using mRNA from the bone marrow cells of a patient with AML M4 at diagnosis. We immunoscreened 106 pf... Read More about A novel zinc finger gene, ZNF465, is inappropriately expressed in acute myeloid leukaemia cells.

Infrequent expression of the Cancer-Testis antigen, PASD1, in ovarian cancer (2015)
Journal Article
Khan, G., Brooks, S. E., Mills, K. I., & Guinn, B. (2015). Infrequent expression of the Cancer-Testis antigen, PASD1, in ovarian cancer. Biomarkers in Cancer, 7, 31–38. https://doi.org/10.4137/bic.s28378

Ovarian cancer is very treatable in the early stages of disease; however, it is usually detected in the later stages, at which time, treatment is no longer as effective. If discovered early (Stage I), there is a 90% chance of five-year survival. Ther... Read More about Infrequent expression of the Cancer-Testis antigen, PASD1, in ovarian cancer.
