The HOM-MEL-40 antigen which is encoded by the SSX-2 gene was originally detected as a tumor antigen recognized by autologous IgG antibodies in a melanoma patient. Expression analysis demonstrated that SSX-2 is a member of the recently described cancer/testis antigen (CTA) class as it is expressed i

Dear Sir,
Osteosarcoma is the most frequent primary malignant bone tumor, excluding plasma cell myeloma. Although multimodal treatment includes wide local excision and adjuvant chemo-

## Abstract Expression of MAGE genes that encode tumorβrejection antigens recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes with major histocompatibility complex classβI antigens was investigated in human osteosarcomas (20 cell lines and eight fresh tumor tissues). MAGEβ1,2,3,4, and 6 genes were expressed at t
## Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary malignant tumor of bone. Despite the successful use of multiple chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of OS, more than 30% of OS tumors remain resistant to treatment. Elucidation of cellular resistance mechanisms may lead to better treatments for cancer
## Abstract We applied 27k spotted cDNA microarray slides to assess gene expression profiles in 26 samples from 24 patients with synovial sarcomas (SS). The data were analyzed in relation to histopathologic type, cytogenetic aberrations, gene fusion type and development of distant metastases. Super
Authentic simian virus 40 (SV40) has been detected in association with human choroid plexus and ependymoma tumors, and SV40-like DNA sequences have been found in some human osteosarcomas. We report here an analysis of human osteosarcoma samples for the presence of SV40 DNA using PCR and primers dire
The basic calponin gene is a smooth muscle differentiationspecific gene that encodes an actin-binding protein involved in the regulation of smooth muscle contractility. We studied the expression of the calponin gene in 8 human osteosarcoma cell lines and 17 primary human osteosarcoma tissues by RT-P
