ABSTRACT:
Peptides derived from prostate specific antigen (PSA) that correspond to the immunodominant epitopes found in the native antigen are disclosed. These peptides were identified using a method that predicts continuous, immunodominant epitopes. Anti-PSA antibodies, methods for their production and their use in diagnostic assays also are disclosed.
