When co-cultured with PBMCs from HPV16+ cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) patients, MHC-I‒E7‒hEry induced a notable 12.8-fold increase in IFN-γ-secreting T cells, which is in contrast with the effects of control groups and high-dose peptide treatments alone (Fig. 2b). Here, IFNG is linked to cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
