PROSTATE CANCER RELATED PROTEIN DERIVED PEPTIDE WHICH IS A PEPTIDE VACCINE CANDIDATE FOR PROSTATE CANCER PATIENTS WITH HLA-A3 SUPERTYPE ALLELES

摘要

According to the present invention, a peptide, which is a prostate-related protein derived peptide, capable of binding to an HLA-A3 supertype allele and recognized by the cellular and/or humoral immune system is provided. The peptides of the present invention make feasible the peptide-based anti-cancer vaccine therapy for prostate cancer patients with HLA-A3 supertype allele and useful for the treatment of prostate cancer patients with alleles other than HLA-A2 and - A24 to which cancer vaccine peptide candidates had been identified.
