A peptide consisting essentially of the amino acid sequence represented by
SEQ ID NO:1; a peptide consisting essentially of the amino acid sequence
represented by SEQ ID NO:2; or a mutant peptide consisting essentially of
an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence represented
by SEQ ID NO:1 or 2 by addition, deletion or substitution of one or more
amino acids, the peptide being capable of forming a complex with an
HLA-A2402 molecule to be recognized by HLA-A2402-restricted cytotoxic T
lymphocytes or induce such lymphocytes. Such a peptide is useful as a
cancer vaccine for epithelial cancer patients having HLA-A2402.
