Abstract: A method of treating a patient who has glioblastoma and/or gastric cancer includes administering to said patient a composition containing a population of activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in the patient that aberrantly express a peptide. A pharmaceutical composition contains activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in a patient that aberrantly express a peptide, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, in which the T cells bind to the peptide in a complex with an MHC class I molecule, and the composition is for treating the patient who has glioblastoma and/or gastric cancer. A method of treating a patient who has glioblastoma and/or gastric cancer includes administering to said patient a composition comprising a peptide in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereby inducing a T-cell response to the glioblastoma and/or gastric cancer.

Abstract: The MERS-CoV inhibitor peptides include a set of peptides designed by modification or mutation of a wild type MERS-CoV fusion protein. The MERS-CoV inhibitor peptides are capable of inhibition of MERS-CoV membrane fusion, and thereby may prevent or slow the spread of MERS-CoV infections. Thus, the MERS-CoV inhibitor peptides may be used in pharmaceuticals to prevent and/or treat MERS-CoV infection. The pharmaceuticals may be formulated to comprise at least one of the MERS-CoV inhibitor peptides and a carrier, or they may include one or more expression systems capable of promoting cellular expression of one or more MERS-CoV inhibitor peptides. The MERS-CoV inhibitor peptides may also be used as reagents for MERS-CoV inhibition assays as a standard or reference inhibitors.
