Abstract
Wilms' tumor gene WT1 is overexpressed in leukemias and almost all types of solid tumors, and exerts an oncogenic function in leukemogenesis and tumorigenesis. WT1 protein is a pan-tumor associated antigen and we performed for the first time the WT1-peptide-based cancer immunotherapy and demonstrated its safety and clinical effect.
