Abstract: The invention provides human immunogenic epitopes of HEMO and HHLA2 human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), which can be used as a peptide, polypeptide (protein), and/or in a vaccine or other composition for the prevention or therapy of cancer. The invention further provides a nucleic acid encoding the peptide or polypeptide (protein), a vector comprising the nucleic acid, a cell comprising the peptide, polypeptide (protein), nucleic acid, or vector, and compositions thereof.

Abstract: Brachyury protein can be used to induce Brachyury-specific CD4+ T cells in vivo and ex vivo. It is also disclosed that Brachyury protein can be used to stimulate the production of both Brachyury-specific CD4+ T cells and Brachyury-specific CD8+ T cells in a subject, such as a subject with cancer. In some embodiments, the methods include the administration of a Brachyury protein. In additional embodiments, the methods include the administration of a nucleic acid encoding the Brachyury protein, such as in a non-pox non-yeast vector. In further embodiments, the methods include the administration of host cells expressing the Brachyury protein.

Abstract: It is disclosed herein that Brachyury is expressed in human tumors, specifically in tumors of the small intestine, stomach, kidney, bladder, uterus, ovary, and testes, as well as in lung, colon and prostate carcinomas. Immunogenic Brachyury polypeptides are disclosed herein. These polypeptides can be used in diagnostic assays for Brachyury expression, as well as for inducing an immune response to Brachyury. Polynucleotides encoding the immunogenic Brachyury polypeptides, vectors including these polypeptides, host cells transformed with these vectors, and methods of using these polypeptides, polynucleotides, vectors, and host cells are provided. Methods of diagnosing a Brachyury-expressing cancer are also provided. Exemplary cancers include small lung, colon, intestine, stomach, kidney, bladder, uterus, ovary, and testes and prostate cancers. Methods of treating cancer are also disclosed.
