It has recently been shown that human sarcomas express tumor-associated antigens potentially capable of being recognized by the immune system. However, the weakness of these antigens and/or the presence of tumor-induced suppression results in an ineffective immune response in sarcoma patients. We propose to generate vaccine-primed T cells for the immunotherapy of stage IV sarcoma patients utilizing methods derived from extensive preclinical studies. These studies have demonstrated that lymph node cells (lymphocytes) from lymph nodes draining the site of a tumor vaccination harbor T cells which can develop specific antitumor reactivity against poorly immunogenic tumors after in vitro activation. The studies proposed herein will yield important insights into the requirements for eliciting T cell responses against sarcoma-associated tumor antigens.

最近的研究表明，人肉瘤表达肿瘤相关抗原，这些抗原可能能够被免疫系统识别。然而，这些抗原的弱点和/或肿瘤诱导的抑制的存在导致肉瘤患者的无效免疫应答。 我们建议利用来自广泛的临床前研究的方法产生用于IV期肉瘤患者的免疫治疗的疫苗引发的T细胞。 这些研究已经证明，来自引流肿瘤疫苗接种部位的淋巴结的淋巴结细胞（淋巴细胞）携带T细胞，其在体外活化后可以针对免疫原性差的肿瘤产生特异性抗肿瘤反应性。本文提出的研究将产生重要的见解的要求引发T细胞对肉瘤相关的肿瘤抗原的反应。
