Abstract excerpt
Evidence has accumulated indicating that HLA-A2-restricted CTLs specific for human wild-type sequence p53 epitopes lyse tumor cells expressing mutant p53. To explore the possibility that wild-type sequence p53 peptides could also be used in vaccines for patients expressing HLA-A24 antigen, another frequent HLA class I allele, we investigated the induction of HLA-A24-restricted p53-specific CTLs from the...
