Figure 2. Plasma levels of TGFβ. Plasma transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) levels as detected by ELISA are plotted vs. time after the initiation of GC1008-based immunotherapy for 8 malignant pleural mesothelioma patients.

Figure 3. Antitumor humoral immune responses. Extracts from four different mesothelioma cell lines were separated by PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose, and immunoblotted with diluted (1:1500) sera obtained from two malignant pleural mesothelioma patients (1–03 and 1–04) before and 6-weeks after the initiation of GC1008-based immunotherapy. Black boxes highlight increase reactivity as observed in samples obtained in the course of GC1008-based immunotherapy.

Figure 4. Relationship between overall survival and the generation of tumor-targeting antibodies. The overall survival (in months) of 5 malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) patients who formed antitumor antibodies in response to GC1008-based is compared with that of 8 MPM patients who failed to do so. Data were compared with a Log-rank test, p value is indicated.
