Biliary glycoprotein (BGP) is an adhesion and anti-cellgrowth molecule of the carcinoembryonic antigen family. We have earlier demonstrated that BGP mRNA is expressed in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and the adjacent noncancerous regions, neither of which express CEA and NCA mRNA. To define an ex

## 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
An analysis of 105 autopsy cases (77 male, 28 female) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showed that 90 cases (85.7%) were associated with liver cirrhosis, of which 75 cases (83.3%) were of the macronodular type. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was detected with orcein stain in the hepatic tissue
## Background: Tissue polypeptide specific antigen (tps) recently was introduced as an indicator of cell proliferation in various tumors. the authors investigated the value of serum tps as a complement to alpha-fetoprotein (afp) in the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) in chinese patients
