NCIt definition : A naturally occurring 9-residue peptide of fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF-5). Recognized
by tumor infiltrating cytotoxic T lymphocytes originally isolated from a renal cell
carcinoma that overexpressed FGF-5, FGF-5:172-176/217-220 peptide activates various
cytotoxic CD8 lymphocytes in an HLA-restricted manner. Overexpressed in several cancer
cell lines, FGF-5 is a tumor-associated antigen that may be useful in cancer immunotherapy.
