Nevertheless, the fact that anti-PAP antibodies were detected in subjects treated with sipuleucel-T when no such antibodies could be identified in the pre-treatment specimens and that PAP-specific T-cell responders were observed only in the sipuleucel-T group supports the supposition that sipuleucel stimulates antigen-specific B- and T-cell responses that target prostate cancer. Here, ACP3 is linked to prostate cancer.
