Abstract:
1. A method for inducing an antigen-presenting cell (APC) with CTL inducibility, wherein the method comprises a step selected from the group consisting of: a) collecting APCs from a subject, and b) contacting the APCs of step a, with a peptide; wherein the peptide is selected from the group consisting of: an isolated peptide of less than 15 amino acids comprising an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1; and an isolated peptide of less than 15 amino acids comprising an amino acid sequence in which one or two amino acid(s) are substituted, deleted, inserted or added to an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 to yield a modified peptide that retains the ability to bind to an HLA antigen and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) inducibility.
