ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to proteins belonging to the Bcl-2 family and peptides fragments thereof for use in pharmaceutical compositions. The disclosed proteins and peptide fragments are in particularly useful in vaccine compositions for treatment of cancer. The invention furthermore relates to methods of treatment using said compositions. It is also an aspect of the invention to provide T-cells and T-cell receptors specifically recognising the disclosed proteins and peptide fragments.
