Melanoma-associated antigens in esophageal adenocarcinoma: identification of novel MAGE-A10 splice variants.
PURPOSE The melanoma-associated antigens (MAGEs) are tumor-specific antigens recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. In this study, expression of MAGE family A members was evaluated during the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) as potential targets for immunotherapy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN MAGE-A mRNA expression was evaluated in 46 samples including Barrett's metaplasia (BM), dysplasia...
متن کاملvitiligo associated with esophageal adenocarcinoma
vitiligo is a disease that results in depigmented areas in the skin. it may develop at any age but the average age at onset is 20 years. association of vitiligo and melanoma has been commonly reported, but malignancies other than melanoma have been rarely associated with vitiligo. we report a 73‑year‑old patient with new onset vitiligo who developed esophageal adenocarcinoma in the following ye...
متن کاملTumor-associated antigens in human malignant melanoma.
Several studies have now clearly indicated the presence of tumor-associated and tumor-specific antigens in cells of human malignant melanoma. These antigens have been identified by means of several quite different techniques, including the use of antibodies detectable against the antigens, either by means of immunofluorescence, (1-5) cytotoxicity (4, 6, 7) or by extracting the antigen and obtai...
متن کاملBiological functions of melanoma-associated antigens.
To date, dozens of melanoma-associated antigens (MAGEs) have been identified and classified into 2 subgroups, I and II. Subgroup I consists of antigens which expression is generally restricted to tumor or germ cells, also named as cancer/testis (CT) antigen. Proteins and peptides derived from some of these antigens have been utilized in promising clinical trials of immunotherapies for gastroint...
متن کاملMelanoma-associated antigens as messenger RNA detection markers for melanoma.
Melanoma is heterogeneous for its biological properties and melanoma-associated antigens (MAAs). This diversity is partially observed in the expression of the MAAs involved with the melanin synthesis pathway. We therefore developed a sensitive multimarker reverse transcription-PCR plus Southern blot assay using five MAAs as molecular markers to detect primary and metastatic melanoma cells. Mela...
