Abstract excerpt
AIMS AND BACKGROUND: Structurally altered proteins (derived from chromosomal translocations or gene mutations) can be considered tumor specific antigens and represent an attractive target for a T-cell mediated response. T lymphocytes recognize antigens in the form of peptides bound to HLA-molecules. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Peptides derived from oncogenic proteins were screened for the presence of HLA binding...
