Drugging "undruggable" genes for cancer treatment: Are we making progress?

abstract：:A major objective of peptide vaccination is the induction of tumor-reactive CD8+ T-cells. We have shown that HLA-A2 positive cancer patients frequently develop an antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell response after vaccination with NY-ESO-1 peptides p157-165/p157-167. These T-cells are highly reactive with the peptides used f...
