Abstract

The invention involves the combination of Interleukin-12 with p53 derived peptides and an adjuvant, preferably QS-21. It is found that this combination provokes a surprisingly strong immune response. Further, in an accepted in vivo model, the use of compositions containing these three ingredients led to diamatic decreases in the growth of induced tumors, thus suggesting a therapeutic regime.
