For all patients on study, NY-ESO-1 expression in CD11b+ myeloid cells was serially assessed throughout the study using nested RT-PCR. Results are summarized at diagnosis, following the 1st cycle of therapy (n = 9) and at the end of the study (n = 7). NY-ESO-1-specific immune responses were assessed at diagnosis (n = 9) and at the EOS (n = 7). NY-ESO-1 expression was measured in peripheral CD11b+ myeloid cells using nested RT-PCR. NY-ESO-1-specific CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocyte responses were measured using ELISPOT assay. Levels of NY-ESO-1-specific antibodies were measured in sera using ELISA. Assays were performed as described in Materials and Methods.
