Abstract

The present invention relates to peptides, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated cytotoxic T cell (CTL) peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses. The present invention relates to 30 peptide sequences and their variants derived from HLA class I and class II molecules of human tumor cells that can be used in vaccine compositions for eliciting anti-tumor immune responses.

Claims (17)

1. An isolated peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence ALAVLSNYDA (SEQ ID NO: 9) in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, wherein said peptide is produced by solid phase peptide synthesis or produced by a yeast cell or bacterial cell expression system.

2. The peptide of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is chloride salt.

3. The peptide of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is acetate salt.

4. A composition comprising the peptide of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the peptide is in the form of a chloride salt.

6. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the peptide is in the form of an acetate salt.

7. The composition of claim 4 , further comprising an adjuvant selected from the group consisting of anti-CD40 antibody, imiquimod, resiquimod, GM-CSF, cyclophosphamide, sunitinib, bevacizumab, interferon-alpha, interferon-beta, CpG oligonucleotides, poly-(I:C), RNA, sildenafil, particulate formulations with poly (lactide co-glycolide) (PLG), virosomes, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-12, IL-13, IL-15, IL-21, and IL-23.

8. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the adjuvant is IL-2.

9. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the adjuvant is IL-7.

10. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the adjuvant is IL-12.

11. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the adjuvant is IL-15.

12. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the adjuvant is IL-21.
