ABSTRACT:
Compositions and methods for the therapy of malignant diseases, such as leukemia and cancer, are disclosed. The compositions comprise a WT1 polypeptide comprising an immunogenic portion of WT1, wherein said WT1 polypeptide comprises the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:144. Such compositions may be used, for example, for the prevention and treatment of metastatic diseases.
