Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Inducing Immunogens For Prevention Treatment and Diagnosis of Cancer

摘要

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the prevention, treatment, and diagnosis of cancer, especially carcinomas, such as pancreatic carcinoma. The invention discloses peptides, polypeptides, and polynucleotides that can be used to stimulate a CTL response against pancreatic and other cancers.

主权项

1. A composition for use in a method of:
(a) eliciting a CTL response against tumor cells presenting at least one of the following epitopic peptides: SEQ ID NOS: 1 through 53 in a subject; or (b) stimulating an immune response in an immunologically competent animal, said composition comprising at least one polypeptide comprising an epitopic peptide comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 1 through 53, or a derivative or combination thereof.
