Abstract:The CT26 model is one of the most widely tested systems for cancer immunotherapy. Over 70% of the CD8+ CTL responses in CT26 tumors are directed against two peptides: SPSYVYHQF (AH1) presented by H-2Ld, or GGPESFYCASW (GSW11) presented by H-2Dd. Both peptides derive from the ecotropic murine leukaemia virus gp70 envelope glycoprotein, which is the highest expressed gene in CT26, and have relative low affinity values for their respective MHC-I. However, there is a lack of knowledge about other CTL specificities… Show more
