ABSTRACT:
The invention describes HLA class II binding peptides encoded by the SSX-4 tumor associated gene, as well as nucleic acids encoding such peptides and antibodies relating thereto. The peptides stimulate the activity and proliferation of CD4+T lymphocytes. Methods and products also are provided for diagnosing and treating conditions characterized by expression of the SSX-4 gene.
