Antigen peptide derived from the sequence of epidermal growth factor receptor having T790M point mutation
The present application relates to an antigen peptide derived from the sequence of epidermal growth factor receptor having T790M point mutation and a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancer comprising the peptide.
1. A method of treating cancer by inducing peptide-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), comprising administering a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, 7 or 15 to a patient in need thereof.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 15.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the peptide is administered intradermally or subcutaneously.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the peptide is administered with an incomplete Freund's adjuvant, a polysaccharide, or an immunopotentiating agent.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the peptide is administered with incomplete Freund's adjuvant ISA-51, pullulan, complete Freund's adjuvant, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), Alum, Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-2 (IL-2), or CpG.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein from 0.0001 mg to 1000 mg of the peptide is administered.
