CTL responses by autologous colorectal cancer cells were observed in five cases. The specific CTL was induced from two cases, in which tumor associated antigen, CA-Hb_3, was strongly positive. The CTL could not induced from other three cases in which CA-Hb_3 antigen was weakly positive. Weakly positive tumor cells in the three cases were loaded CA-Hb_3 antigen into cytoplasmas by the cationic liposomes and tested by immunohistochemical assay. The results showed that CA-Hb_3 antigen of tumor cells in two cases changed to strongly positive, and could induce CTL responses successfully. With blocking agents BFA and anti-MHC-I monoclonal antibody, CTL responses could be blocked. Our results suggested that soluble CA-Hb_3 antigen could enhance the immunogenity of colorectal cancer cells and induce effective anti-tumor cellular immune responses.

In order to improve the precision and robustness in determination of soluble solids content ( SSC) of ‘Fuji ’ apple by NIR spectroscopy and eliminate the effect of origin variability on the accuracy of NIR calibration models for the SSC, sample set partitioning based on joint x-y distances ( SPXY) was used to select representative subset from the apple samples of 4 different origins. As a comparison, partial least square ( PLS) was used to establish local origin and hybrid origin models for the prediction of SSC in apple. Competitive adaptive reweighted sampling ( CARS ) and successive projections algorithm ( SPA ) were implemented to select effective variables of the NIR spectroscopy of SSC of apple. The results indicated that the PLS model established based on the 4 origin apple samples performed better than local origin and other hybrid origin models. The model could be effectively simplified using 16 characteristic variables selected by CARS-SPA method from full-spectrum which had 3112 wavelengths. The correlation coefficient (Rp) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) were 0. 978 and 0. 441 oBrix, respectively for SSC. It was found that the model developed by more samples of different origins combined with effective wavelengths showed good prediction ability for apple sample of unknown origin, which indicated that it could significantly reduce the origin effect on the robustness of NIR models for SSC of apple.
