Isolated peptides which complex with hla-cw*16 molecules, and uses thereof

摘要

The application involves the identification of peptides which complex with HLA-Cw*16 molecules, and which may then provoke lysis of the cells to which they bind, by cytolytic T cells. The isolated peptide comprises at least 9 amino acids of the sequence: Xaa Ile (Xaa)4 Arg (Xaa)2 Tyr Xaa Where each Xaa is any amino acid; the first Xaa is 0-3 amino acids in length, the fourth Xaa is 0-2 amino acids in length and the total of the first and fourth Xaa is 3 or less.
