Based on these data the therapeutic vaccine AML-VAC-XS15 was designed, comprising two mutated HLA class I-restricted peptides from the common AML-specific mutation in NPM1 and seven HLA class II-restricted peptides (six non-mutated high-frequent AML/LPC-associated antigens and one mutated peptide from the AML-specific mutation R140Q in IDH2), adjuvanted with the toll like receptor 1/2 ligand XS15 and emulsified in Montanide ISA 51 VG. This evidence concerns the gene IDH2 and acute myeloid leukemia.
