Research Abstract |
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) were obtained from prostate cancer patients. The PBMCs were prepared by Ficoll-Conray density gradient centrifugation. The expression of HLA-A11,-A31, and-A33 molecules on the PBMCs was determined by flow cytometry using these antibodies-anti-HLA-A11,-A31,-A33-and FITC-conjugated anti-mouse IgG monoclonal antibodies. 3 prostate cancer-related antigens prepared based on the binding motifs to the MHC-class I alleles. It is predicted as a peptide candidate that be identified induction of specific CTL with EZHp_<733-741> peptide in CTL assay, and can apply to a cancer vaccine treatment.
