摘要:
The invention relates to members of the MAGE-B family of nucleic acid molecules. These molecules differ from the previously described MAGE nucleic acid molecules in that members of the MAGE-Xp family do not hybridize to the previously identified MAGE sequences. Further, the members of the MAGE-B family are found on the Xp arm of the X chromosome rather than on the Xq chromosome, as was the case with the previously identified MAGE genes.
摘要:
A method for determining lung adenocarcinomas is described. The method involves assaying for expression of a gene coding for at least one of tumor rejection antigen precursors MAGE-1, 2 and 3, or their expression product.

摘要:
The invention involves assaying for possible presence of certain cancers, by screening a sample for a member of the MAGE-Xp family of genes. These cancers include testicular seminoma, non-small call lung carcinoma, melanoma, breast cancer, sarcoma, and leukemia.
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 MAGE-1 and MAGE-4, respectively. 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 the MAGE-1 and MAGE-4 antigenic peptides as well as the peptide/HLA complexes which are recognized by the isolated CTL clones.

摘要:
The invention relates to isolated nucleic acid molecules which encode nonapeptides derived from MAGE tumor rejection antigen precursors. The nonapeptides form complexes with human leukocyte antigens presented on the surfaces of cells, and lead to lysis of these cells by cytolytic T lymphocytes. Thus, they are useful in diagnostic methods. Also a part of the invention are vectors which are designed to encode the nonapeptides as well as cell lines which have been transformed or transfected with the isolated nucleic acid molecules of the invention, or vectors including these molecules.
摘要:
The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding antigenic peptides from MAGE molecules that bind to HLA. An example of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention is a nucleic acid molecule coding for the peptide GVYDGREHTV (SEQ ID NO: 44), which peptide binds to HLA-A2. The nucleic acid molecules and the encoded antigenic peptides are useful for diagnosing and treating various pathological conditions.
