The present invention relates to an
in vitro method for preparing an immunoreactive agent against
human cancer cells infected with an HPV16-associated
virus, said method comprising expressing at least part of a
nucleic acid sequence encoding an immunoreactive agent obtained from an immune
cell stimulated by a complex comprising a
human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and a stimulating
peptide (stimulating complex), wherein the stimulating
peptide (i) consists of an
amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2, and the HLA is from an HLA supertype HLA-A01; (ii) consists of an
amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11, and the HLA is from an HLA supertype HLA-A02; (iii) consists of an
amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 34 to SEQ ID NO: 37, and the HLA is from an HLA supertype HLA-A03 / A11; (iv) consists of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 60 and SEQ ID NO: 61, and the HLA is from an HLA supertype HLA-A24; (v) consists of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 61, SEQ ID NO: 76 and SEQ ID NO: 77, and the HLA is from an HLA supertype HLA-B07; or (vi) consists of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 61 and SEQ ID NO: 85 to SEQ ID NO: 92, and the HLA is from an HLA supertype HLA-B15; and wherein HPV16-derived peptides consisting of the same amino acid sequence as the stimulating peptides have been demonstrated to be presented by human HPV16-positive
cancer cells, and methods and uses related thereto.
