ACE and neoplasm: To more precisely delineate the immunodominant role of HER-2/neu-derived peptides within the ACE from HER-2/neu-overexpressing ovarian primary tumour cells, we attempted to link the cytotoxic activity mediated by the ACE-induced CTL against the HER-2/neu+ HLA-A2.1+ tumour targets with their ability to lyse T2 cells pulsed with HER-2/neu synthetic peptides known to represent HLA-A2.1-restricted CTL epitopes.
