摘要:
The invention relates to nucleic acid molecules which code for the tumor rejection antigen precursor MAGE-3. Also disclosed are vectors, cell lines, and so forth, which utilize the nucleic acid molecule, and optionally, molecules coding for human leukocyte antigen HLA-A1. Uses of these materials in therapeutic and diagnostic contexts are also a part of the invention.
摘要:
Isolated nucleic acid molecules are described, which have complements that hybridize to a nucleic acid molecule referred to as MAGE-2. The isolated nucleic acid molecules are expressed in some melanoma cells, as well as other types of cancer cells. The invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules which encode fragments of the proteins encoded by these nucleic acid molecules, and nucleic acid molecules which encode the ultimate product, the so-called tumor rejection antigens.

摘要:
The invention describes the LAGE-1 tumor associated gene, including fragments, allelic variants and splice variants thereof. Also included are polypeptides and fragments thereof encoded by such genes, and antibodies relating thereto. Methods and products also are provided for diagnosing and treating conditions characterized by expression of a LAGE-1 gene product.
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:
The invention describes HLA class II binding peptides encoded by the MAGE-A3 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 also are provided for diagnosing and treating conditions characterized by expression of the MAGE-A3 gene.
