Generation in vivo of peptide-specific cytotoxic T cells and presence of regulatory T cells during vaccination with hTERT (class I and II) peptide-pulsed DCs

Table 2 PSA values: Baseline and reduction of blood PSA levels for patients who showed partial clinical responses following vaccination with the vaccination time point.

Patient	PSA baseline levels (μg/L)	Vaccination time point (V)	PSA Post-response (μg/L)	Vaccination time point (V)	Percentage reduction
N004	2320	V0	2030	V1	14.28%
N010	2798	V1	1218	V2	56.47%
N010	3218	V3	2439	V4	24.20%
L003	232	V7	206	V8	11.20%
L005	465	V2	429	V3	7.7%
L005	639	V4	629	V5	1.5%

None of these patients had altered renal function or change in serum albumin during vaccination to account for variations in PSA levels. Normal reference range for PSA is 0–5 μg/L.
