NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULE AND PROTEIN FOR INDUCING IMMUNE RESPONSE AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER ANTIGEN, PLASMID, EXPRESSION VECTOR, METHOD OF TREATMENT AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION

摘要

The invention relates to nucleic acid molecules and proteins for inducing immune response against prostate cancer antigen, as well as to plasmids, vectors and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said nucleic acids. The invention also relates to methods of treating patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer comprising delivering said nucleic acid or said protein. The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding consensus prostate proteins and fragments thereof; to improved prostate cancer vaccines, improved methods for inducing immune responses against prostate cancer cells, improved methods for prophylactically and/or therapeutically immunizing patients against prostate cancer.
