We previously demonstrated that IgG responses to a panel of 126 prostate tissue‐associated antigens are common in patients with prostate cancer. In the current report we questioned whether changes in IgG responses to this panel might be used as a measure of immune response, and potentially antigen spread, following prostate cancer‐directed immune‐active therapies. Sera were obtained from prostate cancer patients prior to and three months following treatment with androgen deprivation therapy (n= 34), a poxviral vaccine (n= 31), and a DNA vaccine (n= 21). Changes in IgG responses to individual antigens were identified by phage immunoblot. Patterns of IgG recognition following three months of treatment were evaluated using a machine‐learned Bayesian Belief Network (ML‐BBN). We found that different antigens were recognized following androgen deprivation compared with vaccine therapies. While the number of clinical responders was low in the vaccine‐treated populations, we demonstrate that ML‐BBN can be used to develop potentially predictive models.
