## BACKGROUND. The 12 members of the MAGE gene family encode tumor specific antigens that are recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). The MAGE genes are expressed not only in melanoma but in the other malignant tumors as well. There is, however, little information on their expressi

The human MAGE-I, MAGEJ and MART-I genes code for antigens that are specifically recognized by cytolytic T lymphocytes in a MHC-restricted manner. The MAGE-I and MAGEJ genes are expressed in tumors of different histotypes but not in normal adult tissues (with the exception of testis), while the MART
For an approach of gene therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), transcriptional regulatory sequence (TRS) of either alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) or albumin has been used for targeting cancer cells. To examine the feasibility of using TRSs of these genes for possible gene therapy of HCCs, the cellular
