In this study, we developed a novel immunotherapeutic peptide by linking the <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> (MTB) heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) functional peptide to the extracellular domain of FPR1, a protein overexpressed in cervical cancer, to obtain an MTBHsp70-exFPR1 fusion protein.
The excellent capability of MtHSP70-FPR1 fusion protein to induce phenotypical and functional maturation of moDCs and CC-specific CTL responses partly illustrates the potential clinical benefits of DC-based immunotherapy for CC.
