The HPV type 16-E7 epitope (YMLDLQPET), recognized by HLA-A*02:01, is frequently identified in cervical biopsies from cancer patients, while the HPV type 16-E6 epitope (KCLKFYSKI) is recognized by H-2Kb, known for eliciting strong T cell reactions in mice32,33. This evidence concerns the gene HLA-A and cancer.
