1. A vaccine composition for treating cancer, the composition comprising(i) as an immunogenic component, an effective amount of a peptide consisting of:

  • (a) amino acids 181 to 274 of SEQ ID NO;

    1;

    (b) SEQ ID NO;

    2, 11, 12, 13, 21 or 23;

    (c) SEQ ID NO;

    11, 12, 13, 21 or 23, further comprising 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, or 10 flanking amino acids on either the N-terminal end of the peptide, the C-terminal end of the peptide, or both the N-terminal end and the C-terminal end of the peptide;

    or(d) SEQ ID NO;

    11, 12, 13, 21 or 23, further comprising one or more flanking amino acids such that the entire peptide consists of about 25 to 30 amino acids;

    the effective amount being an amount effective to elicit an immune response against the cancer;

    wherein flanking amino acids are amino acids adjacent to SEQ ID NO;

    11, 12, 13, 21 or 23 in SEQ ID NO;

    1 or in SEQ ID NO;

    14; and

    (ii) an adjuvant selected from an oil-based adjuvant, a CpG DNA adjuvant, a mineral salt adjuvant, a particulate adjuvant, a mucosal adjuvant, a cytokine, a microbial derivative, an emulsion and a Toll-Like Receptor agonist.
