METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS TO ELICIT MULTIVALENT IMMUNE RESPONSES AGAINST DOMINANT AND SUBDOMINANT EPITOPES, EXPRESSED ON CANCER CELLS AND TUMOR STROMA.

摘要

The present invention provides a method of treating cancer by providing to a subject in need thereof an immunogenic composition comprising a nucleic acid construct encoding a polypeptide comprising CTL epitopes PSMA288-297 and PRAME425-433, or a cross-reactive analogue. In embodiments of the present invention there is provided methods and compositions for inducing, entraining, and/or amplifying the immune response to MHC class-I restricted epitopes of carcinoma antigens to generate an effective anti-cancer immune response.
