ISOLATED PEPTIDES WHICH BIND TO HLA-C MOLECULES AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The invention teaches peptide epitopes which bind to HLA-Cw3 and HLA-Cw6molecules on the surface of cells. The peptides are useful diagnostically andtherapeutically, as are DNA molecules which encode them, and the cytolytic Tlymphocytes specific to the HLA/peptide complexes. Also a feature of theinvention is a method for identifying relevant molecules such as thosedescribed herein, in a system that uses stimulation and restimulation usingdifferent viral vectors.
