Abstract

See full text

Briefly, the present invention refers to the transcription factors PAX2 and PAX8 expressed in solid tumours and haematologic malignancies, and their utility as a target in immunotherapy and molecular therapy. In more detail, the invention refers to a method for identifying an immunogenic T-cell epitope from PAX2 and/or PAX8. Furthermore, the invention refers to a use of immunogenic T-cell epitopes, e.g. identified by said method, and their use as targets for the recognition by targeting means, e.g. T-cells or antibodies. The invention also refers to peptides representing immunogenic T-cell epitopes and their uses for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for immunotherapy of PAX2 and/or PAX8 expressing malignancies.
