摘要:
This invention relates to MAGE-1 derived nonapeptides. The therapeutic and diagnostic ramifications of this observation are the subject of the invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to isolation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones. In particular, the present invention relates to isolated CTL clones that are specific for proteins of the MAGE family. The CTL clones of the present invention have been isolated by successive steps of stimulation and testing of lymphocytes with antigen presenting cells which present antigens derived from different expression systems, e.g., from recombinant Yersinia, recombinant Salmonella, or recombinant viruses. The present invention further relates to antigenic peptides as well as the peptide/HLA complexes which are recognized by the isolated CTL clones.
摘要:
The invention describes HLA class II binding peptides encoded by the MAGE-3 tumor associated gene, as well as nucleic acids encoding such peptides and antibodies relating thereto. The peptides stimulate the activity and proliferation of CD4+T lymphocytes. Methods and products are also provided for diagnosing and treating conditions characterized by expression of the MAGE-3 gene.
摘要:
The invention relates to monoclonal antibodies which specifically bind to the tumor rejection antigen precursor molecule MAGE-1, hybridomas which produce these monoclonal antibodies, and their use. Also described is a recombinant form of MAGE-1, peptides which are useful as immunogens, and immunogenic compositions containing the peptides and an adjuvant.
摘要:
The invention relates to an isolated DNA sequence which codes for an antigen expressed by tumor cells which is recognized by cytotoxic T cells, leading to lysis of the tumor which expresses it. Also described are cells transfected by the DNA sequence, and various therapeutic and diagnostic uses arising out of the properties of the DNA and the antigen for which it codes.
摘要:
The invention discloses immunogenic polypeptides comprising several MAGE-specific antigen epitopes selected from different (i.e. discrete) members of the MAGE protein family, nucleic acids coding therefor, recombinant viruses and/or cells comprising said nucleic acids, and compositions thereof. Methods for eliciting or inducing MAGE-specific immune responses utilizing the aforementioned immunogenic agents are also disclosed.
摘要:
Tumor rejection antigens presented by HLA-B44 molecules are described. These peptides are useful in diagnostic and therapeutic methodologies. The tumor rejection antigens are derived from MAGE tumor rejection antigen precursors.
