Characterizing and Regulating Tumor-induced Regulatory T Cells
The major goals of this project are:1) To characterize the kinetics of expression and role for three
recently identified novel markers for iTreg, CD81, Amphiregulin and Prostaglanding Receptor EP3 in
the RLM model, 2) To investigate whether CD81, Amphiregulin and Prostaglanding Receptor EP3
can be exploited to manipulate the number, phenotype and/or functional activity of iTreg in vivo, 3)
To investigate how histologically distinct tumors induce iTreg that are capable of inhibiting the
generation of melanoma-specific effector T cells and thereby suppress anti-tumor immunity.

Exploiting Lymphopenia to Augment the Adoptive Immunotherapy of Melanoma Patients
The major goals of this project are: 1) To determine whether reconstitution with CD25-depleted
PBMC increases the tumor-specific T cell response of patients made lymphopenic by treatment with
cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, and vaccinated with autologous tumor and GM-CSF (pick-the-
winner). 2) To characterize changes in the effector, effector/memory and central memory phenotype
of tumor-specific T cells of patients treated on clinical trials proposed in aims 1 and 4. 3) To
characterize the regulatory T cell population in the peripheral blood prior to and following induction
of lymphopenia and reconstitution. 4) T perform an adoptive immunotherapy trial with T cells
generated using the winning strategy identified in aim 1.

Dr. Walker as Chief of the immunological Monitoring Lab (IML), was responsible for all the immune
monitoring for the clinical Trial. His lab was responsible for the receipt, processing, registration and
cryopreservation of all research samples collected during the protocol. He supervised the
performance of the ELISPOT, tetramer and intracellular cytokine assay by IML personnel, and was
responsible for the generation of the autologous dendritic cells used in the immunologic assays. He
was primarily responsible for interpretation and quality control of all immunological monitoring
assays, and worked with the other investigators in preparation of manuscripts, presentations and
future clinical trial design.
