摘要:
The invention relates to members of the SSX family of genes, as well as their uses. Also a part of the invention are peptides derived from SSX molecules and the NY-ESO-1 molecule, which form complexes with HLA molecules, leading to lysis of cells presenting these complexes, by cytolytic T cells.

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.
摘要:
Peptides which have an amino acid sequence identical to sequences found in tumor rejection antigen precursors, such as NY-ESO-1, and SSX-2, are disclosed. These peptides bind to MHC-Class II molecules, such as HLA-DR molecules, and provoke proliferation of CD4+ cells.

摘要:
The invention relates to the isolation of a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a cancer associated antigen. Also a part of the invention is the antigen itself, and the uses of the nucleic acid molecule and the antigen, and peptides derived from it.
摘要:
The invention involves the recognition of a previously unidentified protein family which belongs to, the human SCP family. The members of the family, such as SCP-2 and rat SCP-3 homolog are markers for cell transformation. Diagnostic and therapeutic uses of these protein and related molecules are taught.
