To this aim, E. coli BL21(DE3)ΔompA was engineered with two other epitopes, the AH1 peptide (SPSYVYHQF), derived from the gp70 envelope protein of the CT26 murine colon carcinoma cell line (38) and the SV40 epitope IV T antigen peptide VVYDFLKL, efficiently presented by MHC I molecules in C57BL/6 mice (21, 22). This evidence concerns the gene EMB and colon carcinoma.
