Understanding CD8+ T‐cell responses toward the native and alternate HLA‐A∗02:01‐restricted WT1 epitope
1 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
The Wilms’ tumor 1 (WT1) antigen is expressed in solid and hematological malignancies, but not healthy tissues, making it a promising target for cancer immunotherapies. Immunodominant WT1 epitopes, the native HLA‐A2/WT1126‐134 (RMFPNAPYL) (HLA‐A2/RMFPNAPYL epitope (WT1A)) and its modified variant YMFPNAPYL (HLA‐A2/YMFPNAPYL epitope (WT1B)), can induce WT1‐specific CD8+ T cells, although WT1B is more stably bound...
