-
A synthetic peptide vaccine based on the sequences of a translocation mutation of 2 transcriptional factor genes, PAX3 and FKHR. PAX3/FKHR fusion proteins are frequently found in patients with rhabdomyosarcomas. Vaccination with PAX3/FKHR peptide may stimulate the host immune response to elicit a cytotoxic T-cell response against tumor cells that express this PAX3/FKHR fusion protein.
