We have identified an H-2K(d)-binding peptide, HER2p780 (PYVSRLLGI), derived from murine HER2/neu (HER2), that can induce HER2-specific murine cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Weekly vaccination of BALB/c mice by syngeneic dendritic cells pulsed with HER2p780 peptide, entirely common to murine and hum

## BACKGROUND. Most strategies in cancer immunotherapy are aimed at the induction of a strong cellular immune response against the tumor. Particularly, CD8 + T lymphocytes have been proven in multiple animal models to be critical for the eradication of solid tumors. METHODS. We used a population o
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
## Abstract Cancer vaccines directed against tumor associate antigen (TAA) have produced encouraging results in preclinical models but not in cancer patients. A major limitation of this strategy is the relative degree of tolerance to these antigens and the low and heterogeneous tumor cell expressio
