| Appl. No: | 12/314218 |
| Application Filed: | December 05, 2008 |
| مستخلص: | The invention concerns the optimization of the wild R9M peptide and the use of the resulting peptides for therapeutic vaccination and/or preventive vaccination against leukaemia in humans. More particularly, the invention concerns mutated immunogenic peptides derived from the human TEL/AML1 fusion protein comprising the wild R9M peptide sequence Arg-Ile-Ala-Glu-Czs-Ile-Leu-Gly-Met. The invention also concerns polynucleotides coding for the mutated R9M immunogenic peptides, cellular expression vectors comprising nucleic acid sequences expressing the mutated R9M immunogenic peptides and polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies capable of being fixed on at least one of said peptides/polynucleotides. The invention further concerns the use of said peptides, polynucleotides and/or antibodies for preparing vaccines, anti-tumoral medicines and compositions and for in vitro and in vivo stimulation of the immune response in humans. |

| Claim: | 1. A method for in vivo stimulation of an immune response in a human patient having common B-type acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with t(12;21), comprising administering to the patient a mutated immunogenic R9M peptide in an amount sufficient to stimulate the immune response in the patient wherein the mutated immunogenic R9M peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7. |
| Claim: | 2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the immune response stimulated with the mutated immunogenic R9M peptide is against the development of the common B-type ALL with t(12;21)after administration to the patient. |
| Claim: | 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the immune response stimulated with the mutated immunogenic R9M peptide is a cytotoxic response against the common B-type ALL with t(12;21) cells of the patient. |
| Claim: | 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mutated immunogenic R9M peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. |
| Claim: | 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mutated immunogenic R9M peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3. |
| Claim: | 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mutated immunogenic R9M peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4. |
| Claim: | 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mutated immunogenic R9M peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5. |
| Claim: | 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mutated immunogenic R9M peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:6. |
| Claim: | 9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mutated immunogenic R9M peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:7. |
| Claim: | 10. A method for slowing down the growth of a tumor cell in a patient, comprising administering to the patient a mutated immunogenic R9M peptide in an amount sufficient to stimulate an immune response in the patient, wherein the tumor cell is a leukemic cell of the common B-type ALL with t(12;21), wherein the mutated immunogenic R9M peptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, and wherein the mutated immunogenic R9M peptide slows down the growth of the leukemic cell of the common B-type ALL with t(12;21) after administration to the patient. |
