Abstract

Methods for the detection, monitoring and treatment of malignancies in which the HER-2/neu oncogene is associated are disclosed. Detection of specific T cell activation (e.g., by measuring the proliferation of T cells) in response to in vitro exposure to the HER-2/neu protein, or detection of immunocomplexes formed between the HER-2/neu protein and antibodies in body fluid, allows the diagnosis of the presence of a malignancy in which the HER-2/neu oncogene is associated. The present invention also discloses methods and compositions, including peptides, for treating such malignancies.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An isolated peptide consisting of one of the amino acid sequences: 
       
         
           
                 
               
                   (Seq. ID No. 26)

         2 . An isolated peptide according to  claim 1  consisting of the amino acid sequence of Gln-Leu-Phe-Glu-Asp-Asn-Tyr-Ala-Leu (Seq. ID No. 26). 
     
     
         3 . An isolated peptide according to  claim 1  consisting of the amino acid sequence of Lys-Ile-Phe-Gly-Ser-Leu-Ala-Phe-Leu (Seq. ID No. 27).
