DCs pulsed with the 3 germ line MHC class I peptides (A9T[Fr3], K9I[Fr2/CDR2], S9L[Fr3]) and 3 germ line MHC class II VH peptides (G16K[Leader/Fr1], F17L[Fr1/CDR1/Fr2], A15V[Fr3]) used in the tumor protection studies shown in Figure 4. P > .5 for all comparisons. These data are representative of 2 independent experiments.
