| Description | MAGE-A1 protein: MAGE-A1 (278-286) is an epitope of Melanoma Antigen Gene A1 expressed by tumors of different histological types such as on the surface of breast carcinoma cell and is a Cancer/Testis Antigens (CTA). MAGE-A1 is a tumor antigen expressed in 40% of melanoma and contains epitope for binding HLA-A*02:01 molecules and that are recognized by cytotoxic T cells. Applications of MAGE-A1 (278-286): MAGE-A1 (278-286) is used to stimulate specific cytotoxic T cells in PBMCs and to analyze by ELISPOT peptide epitope specificity and cytokine production like IFN-γ. Immunogenicity of MAGE-A1 (278-286) raised the possibility of developing anticancer immunotherapies or vaccinations. MAGE-A1 is also expressed in lung adenocarcinoma and studies suggest that MAGE-A1 may serve to develop Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy using lentiviral vector and show an encouraging tumor-inhibitory efficacy. |
