  • Publication number: 20230025608
    Abstract: A set of target peptides are presented by HLA A*0101, A*0201, A*0301, B*4402, B*2705, B*1402, and B*0702 on the surface of disease cells. They are envisioned to among other things (a) stimulate an immune response to the proliferative disease, e.g., cancer, (b) to function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) facilitate antibody recognition of tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, (d) act as biomarkers for early detection and/or diagnosis of the disease, and (e) act as targets in the generation antibody-like molecules which recognize the target-peptide/MHC complex.

  • Publication number: 20220265791
    Abstract: Provided are compositions that include one or more synthetic target peptides, wherein each synthetic target peptide is about or at least 8-50 amino acids long; and has an amino acid sequence as set forth in Table 2 and/or Table 3. Also provided are in vitro populations of dendritic cells that include the disclosed compositions, in vitro population of CD8+ T cells capable of being activated upon being brought into contact with the disclosed populations of dendritic cells, antibodies or antibody-like molecules that specifically binds to a complex of an MHC class I molecule and a peptide having an amino acid sequence as set forth in Table 2 and/or Table 3, methods for treating and/or preventing cancers by administering a therapeutically effective dose of a composition that includes at least one target peptide having an amino acid sequence as set forth in Table 2 and/or Table 3.

  • Publication number: 20190374627
    Abstract: A set of target peptides are presented by HLA class I molecules on the surface of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ceils and/or esophageal cancer cells. They are envisioned to among other things (a) stimulate an immune response to the proliferative disease, e.g., HCC and/or esophageal cancer, (b) function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T-cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) facilitate antibody recognition of tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, (d) act as biomarkers for early detection and/or diagnosis of the disease, and (e) act as targets in the generation anti-body-like molecules which recognize the target-peptide/MHC complex.

  • Publication number: 20190015494
    Abstract: Provided are compositions that include one or more peptides, wherein each peptide is at least 8 amino acids long and has an amino acid sequence as set forth in any of SEQ ID NOs: 1-45. Also provided are in vitro populations of dendritic cells that include the disclosed compositions, in vitro populations of CD8+ T cells capable of being activated upon being brought into contact with the disclosed populations of dendritic cells, antibodies or antibody-like molecules that specifically bind to complexes of MHC class I molecules and the disclosed peptides, methods for treating and/or preventing cancer such as leukemia using the disclosed compositions and/or populations, methods for making cancer vaccines using the disclosed compositions, methods for screening target peptides for inclusion in an immunotherapy composition, methods for determining a prognosis of a leukemia patient, and kits that include at least one of the disclosed peptides.
