- Preparation: The vaccine contained a mixture of four peptides, one of which contained a heteroclitic WT1-derived class I epitope to stimulate CD8 T-cell responses, two contained class II peptide sequences designed to stimulate CD4 T-cell responses, and the last contained both class I and class II epitopes. Each vaccine contained 200 μg of each peptide, for a total of 800 μg delivered in each injection, mixed 1:1 with an emulsion of Montanide ISA 51 VG adjuvant in phosphate-buffered saline, with a total volume of 1 mL (Brayer et al., 2015).
- Description: This is for Myeloma Cancer. A peptide vaccine comprised of an epitope of human Wilms tumor 1 (WT-1) with potential antineoplastic activity. WT-1, a transcription factor, is overexpressed in most types of leukemia and in some solid cancers. Vaccination with the WT-1 analog peptide vaccine may induce a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against WT-1 expressing cells, resulting in cell lysis and inhibition of cancer cell proliferation (Brayer et al., 2015; NCIT_C64635).
