Vestigial-like 1 is a shared targetable cancer-placenta antigen expressed by pancreatic and basal-like breast cancers

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-based immunotherapies can induce tumor regressions by targeting HLA class I-bound tumor-associated peptides. Here, the authors identified a peptide derived from Vestigial-like 1 (VGLL1) as a shared, potentially therapeutic CTL target expressed by multiple cancer types.
