The Wilms' tumor gene WT1 is highly expressed in various malignancies and may be a common target antigen for cancer immunotherapy. In our group, peptide-based cancer vaccines targeting WT1 CTL epitopes were developed as an immunotherapy for these malignancies. In the present study, WT1 epitope-specific immune responses were analyzed in 31 patients with advanced sarcoma with human leukocyte antigen-A*24:02- and WT1-expressing tumors who received the WT1-235 peptide vaccine as monotherapy. The serum levels of IgG and IgM antibodies against the target epitope WT1-235 and the non-target epitopes WT1-332 and WT1-271 were measured using ELISA. IgM antibodies against WT1-235, WT1-332 and WT1-271 were detected in three (9.6%), four (12.9%) and 20 patients (64.5%), respectively, prior to vaccine administration, indicating immune recognition of the WT1 antigen prior to administering the vaccine. Of 15 patients who had completed the 3-month treatment protocol, WT1-235 IgG was positive in five (33.3%) patients. An enzyme-linked immunospot assay revealed that WT1-235 epitope-specific IL-10 production/secretion in peripheral blood mononuclear cells declined in the first month of vaccine administration in all three patients with positivity for WT1-235 IgM at the start of the vaccine. Furthermore, positivity for both WT1-235 and WT1-271 IgM antibodies at the start of treatment was associated with unfavorable tumor control at 3 months after vaccine administration. These results suggested that WT1 epitope-specific IgG and IgM antibodies may be utilized as immune-monitoring markers for WT1 peptide cancer vaccine immunotherapy. The trials were entered in the University hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) Clinical Trials Registry (; no. UMIN000002001 on May 24, 2009 and no. UMIN000015997 on December 20, 2014).
