Novel Peptides for Use in Cancer Diagnostics and Vaccines
- Detailed Technology Description
- None
- *Abstract
-
The present invention relates to synthetic multiple tandem repeat peptides and methods of synthesizing the peptides. The present invention also relates to uses of the peptides, such as in vaccines and diagnostic tests for human cancers and infectious diseases using the framework structure of the tandemly repeating synthetic peptides. Applications:1) A method of detecting the presence of antibodies to pancreatic cancer, breast cancer or colon cancer in a biological test sample2) A method for inhibiting the growth of cancer cells3) Vaccine
