Abstract excerpt
The tumor-associated antigen, mucin4 (MUC4), is overexpressed on various epithelial malignancies, making it a potentially broadly applicable candidate vaccine therapy. In this paper, we report on the creation of a dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccine, using cells transduced with the universal DR-restricted Th helper epitope (PADRE) combined with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A1- and HLA-A2-restricted epitopes from...
