Description
The peptide NY-ESO-1 158-166 (LLMWITQCF) is a highly immunogenic linear nonamer (IEDB Epitope ID: 1075452) that serves as a vital tool for studying CD8+ T-cell responses in HLA-A*24:02 positive populations.
This sequence is particularly unique as it is identical in both NY-ESO-1 (Cancer/Testis Antigen 1; UniProt ID: P78358) and LAGE-1a (Cancer/Testis Antigen 2; UniProt ID: O75638-2). This dual occurrence makes it a high-priority target for cancer immunotherapy, as it allows for the simultaneous targeting and monitoring of multiple tumor-associated antigens.
Scientific Significance & Cross-Reactivity
LLMWITQCF is one of the most thoroughly validated epitopes for the HLA-A*24:02 allele, which is highly prevalent in Asian and Caucasian cohorts:
- Dual Antigen Targeting: Because this sequence is shared between NY-ESO-1 and LAGE-1, it is frequently used to develop pan-CTA (Cancer/Testis Antigen) directed therapies.
- Extensive Validation: Documented in major publications and confirmed by independent T-cell assays and MHC ligand binding studies.
- Proven Immunogenicity: Validated for its ability to stimulate specific IFN-gamma release and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) activity against HLA-A*24 positive tumor cells.
Applications
- T-Cell Monitoring: Tracking antigen-specific immune responses in clinical trials targeting NY-ESO-1 or LAGE-1.
- TCR-T Development: A gold-standard reference for validating the specificity and potency of HLA-A*24:02 restricted T-cell receptors.
- Epitope Mapping: Key component of the NY-ESO-1 157-170 cluster, allowing researchers to study overlapping immune responses across different HLA backgrounds.

Background on NY-ESO-1 and CTAs
NY-ESO-1 is one of the most immunogenic cancer/testis antigens (CTAs). CTAs are normally expressed only in germ cells of the testis but become aberrantly re-expressed in many cancers, including melanoma, lung, ovarian, and esophageal tumors. Because the testis is an immune-privileged site, the immune system does not develop tolerance to these antigens—making them highly attractive targets for cancer immunotherapy and immune monitoring.
These characteristics have positioned NY-ESO-1, and epitopes like RLLEFYLAM, at the center of research into cancer vaccines, adoptive T cell therapies, and diagnostic assays.
