1. A method of inducing an immune response against hepatocellular carcinoma in a subject, said hepatocellular carcinoma expressing WD repeat protein upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (WDRPUH) comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 64, said method comprising the step of administering to the subject an agent comprising an isolated peptide of less than 15 amino acids selected from the group consisting of:
(a) an isolated peptide, which comprises the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 34; and (b) an isolated peptide, which comprises the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 34 in which 1 or 2 amino acid(s) are substituted and/or added, wherein the added amino acid(s) are added to the N-terminus and/or the C-terminus. |
