These findings support the validity in design of anchor residue substitution in SYT-SSX fusion gene-derived peptide, and provide a potential clue to the current stagnation in vaccination trials of fusion gene-derived natural junction peptides..     ///    Crisscross CTL induction by SYT-SSX junction peptide and its HLA-A*2402 anchor substitute..     ///    " To investigate the effects of anchor substitutions in SYT-SSX junction peptide, an HLA-A24 anchor residue (position 9) of the SYT-SSX B peptide (GYDQIMPKK) was substituted to more favorable residues according to the HLA-A24-binding motif.
