Peripheral blood leukocytes from 2 vaccinated participants demonstrating prolonged disease-free survival were used to screen an overlapping mesothelin peptide library. Shown are the amino acid positions and sequences of the 6 newly identified HLA-A0101 binding (top) and 4 newly identified HLA-A0201 binding (bottom) mesothelin-derived 9mer epitopes.
