aThe BAX, p21, MDM-2 and GADD45 protein sequences were obtained and analyzed for potential HLA-A2 binding peptides using a computer algorithm (see Materials and Methods). Two high-scoring sequences were synthesized. The defined p53 264-272 naturally processed and HLA-A2-presented epitope was also produced for CTL specificity analysis.
bBased on an estimate of the half-life stability of an HLA-A2 complex binding the indicated peptide sequence.
