摘要:
The invention relates to nucleic acid molecules which are useful in determining expression of the family of molecules known as the MAGE tumor rejection antigen precursors. These nucleic acid are molecules useful as diagnostic aids for determining whether or not an individual has cancer. Methods using these molecules are also described.
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 present invention provides a vaccine composition comprising the B subunit of Shiga toxin or an immunologically functional equivalent thereof which is able to bind the Gb3 receptor, complexed with an antigen, and further comprising an adjuvant, provided that when the adjuvant is solely a metal salt it is formulated in such a way that not more than about 50% of the antigen is adsorbed onto the metal salt. Such compositions provide an improved immune response compared to Shiga toxin or an immunologically functional equivalent thereof complexed with an antigen with no adjuvant, or an antigen alone with adjuvant.
