Abstract

The present invention relates to the discovery in eukaryotic cells, particularly mammalian cells, of mutant cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) proteins. These proteins fail to bind to CDK-inhibitory proteins and thus lead to aberrant cell growth. Herein, screening assays are described to identify CDK mutant proteins and the uses of these mutant proteins as tumor vaccines is described.
