Although several MAGE-1 peptides have already been identified, the MAGE-1-encoded peptide presented by HLA-A24, which is the most common allele in Japanese population and is also frequently present in Caucasians, might have a wide applicability for immunotherapy using these peptides. To identify this potential peptide, we examined the induction of specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) from the peripheral-blood...
