Abstract excerpt
The factors that determine progression from monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) to multiple myeloma are unclear but may include the breakdown of immune surveillance. Cancer testis antigens (CTAgs) are expressed by the majority of myelomas and MGUS tumors and are a potential immune target. We have characterized CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell immune responses to MAGE-A1/A2/A3 in these patients....
