abstract：:Survivin is overexpressed in several types of haematological malignancies making it an attractive target for therapeutic cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses. Here, we identify two peptide epitopes derived from the murine survivin protein and demonstrate that Balb/c mice treated with syngeneic dendritic cells pulsed with ...
