Abstract excerpt
Mutations of codon 12 in the Ki-ras gene are frequently found in pancreatic and colorectal cancers. It has been demonstrated that human T-cells have the potential to recognise tumours expressing mutated ras-derived peptides. However, it remains unclear whether T-cells from a given individual can recognise the mutant peptides, which are expressed in that individual's tumour tissues. Mutations of the Ki-ras...
