Preferred Label : TARP 27-35 Peptide Vaccine;
NCIt definition : A peptide-based cancer vaccine, containing amino acid residues 27 through 35 of T
cell receptor gamma alternate reading frame protein (TARP), with potential immunostimulatory
and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, TARP 27-35 peptide vaccine may
stimulate a host cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) response against TARP-expressing tumor cells,
resulting in tumor cell cytotoxicity. The nuclear protein TARP is commonly expressed
