10. A pegylated peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of AYIPFPPLI (SEQ ID NO: 33) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof modified with PEG.

11. The pegylated peptide of claim 10 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is chloride salt.

12. The pegylated peptide of claim 10 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is acetate salt.

13. A peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence AYIPFPPLI (SEQ ID NO: 33) in the form of a salt.

14. A method of treating a patient who has cancer, comprising administering to said patient a population of activated T cells that kill cancer cells that present a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of AYIPFPPLI (SEQ ID NO: 33), wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of acute myeloid leukemia, breast cancer, cholangiocellular carcinoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, colorectal cancer, gallbladder cancer, glioblastoma, gastric cancer, gastro-esophageal junction cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, urinary bladder carcinoma, and uterine endometrial cancer.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the T cells are transduced with a T cell receptor (TCR) that binds the peptide in a complex with an MHC class I molecule on the surface of the cancer cells.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the cancer is prostate cancer.
