HLA-A*2402-Restricted VEGFR1 Peptide Vaccine

Preferred Label : HLA-A*2402-Restricted VEGFR1 Peptide Vaccine;

NCIt synonyms : HLA-A 2402-Restricted VEGFR1 Peptide Vaccine;

NCIt definition : A cancer vaccine containing the HLA-A*2402-restricted vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1) peptide epitope with potential immunostimulatory and antitumor activities. Upon administration, HLA-A*2402-restricted VEGFR1 peptide vaccine may stimulate a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response against tumor cells expressing VEGFR 1 peptide, resulting in tumor cell lysis and decreased tumor growth. HLA-A*2402 is an MHC class I molecule that presents antigenic peptides to CD8 T cells; epitope design restricted to epitopes that bind most efficiently to HLA-A*2402 may improve antigenic peptide immunogenicity.;
