The human MAGE gene family encodes products that can be recognized by autologous cytotoxic T cells. Because MAGE genes are silent in most normal tissues except testis but are activated in a variety of neoplastic lesions, MAGE antigens represent ideal targets for immunotherapy. Current knowledge of M
The MAGE, BAGE, and GAGE gene families code for distinct, tumor specific antigens that are recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the context of HLA molecules. The purpose of this study was to analyze MAGE, BAGE, and GAGE gene expression in the two major histologic types of esophageal carcinoma, s
## Background: It has been found that the members of the bage, mage, and gage gene families are expressed almost exclusively in neoplastic tissues. normal tissues, except testis and placenta, are negative. therefore, the expression of these genes may serve as a useful diagnostic marker in detecting
