Targeted amino acid identification utilizing genome-wide cDNA microarray analysis for peptide-based cancer vaccines. Using a genome-wide cDNA microarray analysis, the gene expression patterns of both normal tissues and different tumor types were studied. Based on these findings, we can now pinpoint new tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) that are highly expressed in a wide range of cancerous tumors and exhibit features similar to CTAs and OFAs, making them excellent candidates for cancer immunotherapy
