Abstract excerpt
A number of genes of the MAGE-A, B, and C families have been shown to code for antigens that are recognized on many human tumors by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes. These antigens ought to be strictly tumor specific because the encoding MAGE genes are not expressed in normal adult cells except for male germline cells, which lack HLA expression. To identify new genes of this type, we performed representational...
