    摘要: Cancer associated antigens have been identified by autologous antibody screening of libraries of nucleic acids expressed in testis cells using antisera from seminoma patients. The invention relates to nucleic acids and encoded polypeptides which are cancer associated antigens expressed in patients afflicted with a variety of cancers. The invention provides, inter alia, isolated nucleic acid molecules, expression vectors containing those molecules and host cells transfected with those molecules. The invention also provides isolated proteins and peptides, antibodies to those proteins and peptides and cytotoxic T lymphocytes which recognize the proteins and peptides. Fragments of the foregoing including functional fragments and variants also are provided. Kits containing the foregoing molecules additionally are provided. The molecules provided by the invention can be used in the diagnosis, monitoring, research, or treatment of conditions characterized by the expression of one or more cancer associated antigens.

    摘要: The invention relates to assays for determining breast cancer or melanoma. It has been found that the accuracy of such assays can be improved by assaying samples for three or more known tumor rejection antigen precursors. For breast cancer, the tumor rejection antigen precursors known as SCP-1, NY-ESO-1, and SSX-2 are assayed. For melanoma, SSX-2, NY-ESO-1, and MAGE-3 are assayed. Additional known tumor rejection antigen precursors can also be determined to confirm the assays. It is preferred to carry these out via polymerase chain reactions.
