ABSTRACT:
Filamin-B peptides, compositions comprising such peptides, and methods of using such peptides to assess an immune response against such peptides are described. An immune response against the peptides correlates with an immune response, in particular a cellular immune response, against prostate cancer cells which immune response is preferably associated with prophylaxis of prostate cancer, treatment of prostate cancer, and/or amelioration of at least one symptom associated with prostate cancer.
