NCIt definition : A peptide vaccine consisting of 10 synthetic long peptides (SLPs), 25-30 amino acids
in size and derived from the middle portion of p53 (amino acids 70-251), mixed with
the adjuvant Montanide ISA-51 with potential immunostimulatory and antitumor activities.
Upon administration, p53 synthetic long peptide (70-251) vaccine may stimulate the
host immune system to mount a cytotoxic T-cell lymphocyte (CTL) response against p53-expressing
tumor cells. p53, a tumor associated antigen (TAA), may be overexpressed in variety
of cancer cell types.;
