Abstract:
An immunity-inducing agent comprising as an effective ingredient a specific polypeptide is disclosed. These polypeptides were isolated, by the SEREX method using a cDNA library derived from canine testis and serum from a cancer-bearing dog, as a polypeptide which binds to an antibody existing specifically in serum derived from a cancer-bearing living body. The polypeptides can induce immunity in a living body and cause regression of a tumor in a cancer-bearing living body. Therefore, these polypeptides are especially effective as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent for a cancer(s).
Abstract:
An immunity-inducing agent comprising as an effective ingredient(s) a polypeptide(s) selected from the polypeptides: (a) a polypeptide consisting essentially of not less than 7 consecutive amino acids in any one of the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs:2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 44 in SEQUENCE LISTING; (b) a polypeptide having a sequence identity of not less than 90% with the polypeptide (a) and consisting essentially of not less than 7 amino acids; and (c) a polypeptide comprising the polypeptide (a) or (b) as a partial sequence thereof; which polypeptide(s) has/have an immunity-inducing activity/activities, or as an effective ingredient(s) a recombinant vector(s) which comprise(s) a polynucleotide(s) encoding the polypeptide(s) and is/are capable of expressing the polypeptide(s) in vivo, is useful as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent for cancer, and/or the like.
