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 invention involves a nonapeptide derived from the tumor rejection antigen precursor encoded by gene MAGE-3. This nonapeptide is presented by the HLA molecule HLA-A1. The resulting complexes are identified by cytolytic T cells. Such recognition may be used in diagnostics, or therapeutically.

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 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:
A method for determining head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, bladder tumors and prostate carcinomas is described. The method involves assaying for expression of the gene coding for tumor rejection antigen precursor MAGE-3, or its expression product. Various assays, and kits useful for these assays, are described.
