Peptides based on the p21 ras proto-oncogene protein for the treatment of cancer

摘要

A peptide capable of inducing specific cytotoxic T cell responses (CD 8+) comprises 8 to 10 amino acids of the p21 ras proto-oncogene protein including position 12, 13 or 61 wherein an amino acid substitution has been made at the latter position. These peptides may be used as cancer vaccines and in compositions for anti-cancer treatment.
