BIOMARKERS FOR BREAST TUMOURS FROM Hsp70-ASSOCIATED PEPTIDES

摘要

The invention relates to methods of identifying tumour-specific peptide biomarkers, to peptides identified by these methods, and to methods of using these peptides in diagnostic assays and as targets in anti-tumour vaccine development. The invention provides a panel of synthetic peptides derived from peptides associated with Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) from cancer cell lines. Such peptides find use in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
