Five MAGE-3-derived peptides carrying an HLA-A24binding motif were synthesized. Binding capacity of these peptides was analyzed by an HLA-class-I stabilization assay. Two of the 5 peptides bound to HLA-A\*2402 molecule with high affinity, and 3 peptides with low affinity. Peripheral-blood mononuclea

The human melanocyte lineage-specific antigen gp100 contains several epitopes recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). However, most of the epitopes reported to date are HLA-A2.1-restricted. Despite the high frequency of HLA-A2.1 in melanoma patients, effective population coverage requires the i
Mutant p21-ras proteins contain sequences that distinguish them from normal ras, and represent unique epitopes for T-cell recognition of antigen-bearing tumour cells. Here, we examined the capacity of CD4 ؉ and CD8 ؉ T cells, generated simultaneously by mutant-ras-peptide vaccination of a pancreatic
