The MAGE-encoded antigens that are recognized by cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) are shared by many tumors and are strictly tumor specific. Clinical trials involving therapeutic vaccination of cancer patients with MAGE antigenic peptides or proteins are in progress. To increase the range of patients e

Abstract
Treatment of chondrosarcomas is limited to resection because these tumors are unresponsive to standard adjuvant treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation. We have previously shown that high‐grade chondrosarcomas express unspecified members of the Melanoma Antigen (MAGE) gene family. We show here that FS human chondrosarcoma (FS) cells express MAGE‐A3 gene and HLA‐A1 molecules. In vitro assays show that a cytolytic T‐lymphocyte clone (CTL) specific for a MAGE‐A3 peptide presented by HLA‐A1 specifically lysed FS chondrosarcoma cells. Addition of antigenic peptide did not increase the susceptibility of FS cells to CTL mediated lysis, suggesting that HLA‐A1 expression by the chondrosarcoma cells limited their susceptibility to lysis by the anti‐MAGE‐A3 CTL clone. Incubation of FS cells with 50 U/mL interferon‐γ increased surface expression of HLA class‐I molecules, increased their susceptibility to lysis, and had no effect on MAGE‐A3 gene expression. These results suggest that immunotherapy targeted against chondrosarcoma cells is possible. © 2007 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Orthop Res 25:678–684, 2007

From the peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) of melanoma patient SK29(AV) we have previously isolated 2 independent cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones (CTL7/147 and CTL13/211), which lysed autologous tumor cells in association with HLA-B45.1. As demonstrated here, both CTL clones were directed agai
