摘要:
The invention involves nonapeptides by HLA molecules such as HLA-A1. The resulting complexes are identified by cytolytic T cells. Such recognition may be used in diagnostics, or therapeutically.
摘要:
Tumor rejection antigens derived from MAGE tumor rejection precursors have been identified. These 'TRAS' bind to the MHC-class I molecule HLA-A2, and the resulting complexes stimulate the production of cytolytic T cell clones which lyse the presenting cells. The peptides and complexes may be used diagnostically, therapeutically, and as immunogens for the production of antibodies, or as targets for the generation of cytolytic T cell clones.
摘要:
A new family of tumor rejection antigen precursors, and the nucleic acid molecules which code for them, are disclosed. These tumor rejection antigen precursors are referred to as GAGE tumor rejection antigen precursors, and the nucleic acid molecules which code for them are referred to as GAGE coding molecules. Various diagnostic and therapeutic uses of the coding sequences and the tumor rejection antigens, and their precursor molecules are described. Tumor rejection antigens are also shown.
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:
Compositions with improved immunogenic effect are disclosed. The compositions contain one or more peptides which, when complexed with a cell surface molecule, such as an MHC, HLA or B cell receptor, provoke an immune response. The compositions contain adjuvants such as saponins, which potentiate the immune response. Especially preferred are compositions which stimulate cytolytic T cell responses, such as peptides which satisfy criteria for MHC binding, such as peptides derived from tumor rejection antigen precursors, including MAGE, BAGE, and GAGE derived peptides.
摘要:
The invention relates to the identification of complexes of human leukocyte antigen molecules and tyrosinase derived peptides on the surfaces of abnormal cells. The therapeutic and diagnostic ramifications of this observation are the subject of the invention.
摘要:
The invention involves a nonapeptide derived from the tumor rejection antigen precursor encoded by gene MAGE-3. This nonapeptide is presented by HLA molecules HLA-A1. The resulting complexes are identified by cytolytic T cells. Such recognition may be used in diagnostics, or therapeutically.
