Identification, Optimization and Use of Shared HLA-B*0702 Epitopes for Immunotherapy

摘要

The present invention provides novel methods and materials for efficiently treating patients having an HLA-B*0702 phenotype, based on peptides representing shared epitopes of tumour antigens. In particular, the invention relates to a method for identifying a HLA-B*0702-restricted peptide which can trigger a cytotoxic response against several antigens from one single multigenic family, and to several such epitopes.
