摘要：: The present invention provides LINE polypeptides； and compositions, including immunogenic compositions, comprising a subject LINE polypeptide. The present invention provides a recombinant nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a subject LINE polypeptide. A subject composition is useful for stimulating a T-cell immune response to a LINE peptide. The present invention further provides methods of stimulating an immune response in an individual to a retrovirus- or lentivirus-infected cell. The present invention further provides methods of treating cancers that are associated with tissues in which LINE polypeptides are aberrantly expressed. Also provided are methods of treating disorders, involving decreasing an immune response to a LINE polypeptide.
