pUMVC3-hIGFBP-2 multi-epitope plasmid DNA vaccine

A plasmid DNA vaccine containing mammalian expression vector pUMVC3, encoding epitopes of human insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 (hIGFBP-2) with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon vaccination, pUMVC3-hIGFBP-2 multi-epitope plasmid DNA vaccine may activate the immune system to mount a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against hIGFBP-2-expressing cells. The tumor associated antigen (TAA) hIGFBP-2, a member of the insulin like growth factor receptor family, is overexpressed in a number of cancer cell types and its expression has been associated with increased invasiveness.
