Human genes MAGβ¬-I and MAGβ¬-3 code for distinct antigens, which are recognized on melanoma cells by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL). These antigens may constitute useful targets for anti-cancer immunotherapy, since no expression of MAGE genes has been observed in normal tissues other than t

## Background: Several convincing studies have shown that the hmsh2 gene plays major roles in mismatch repair by recognizing mismatched bases and preventing mutations during dna replication. loss of this function may result in the accumulation of dna replication errors or even the mutator phenotype
A 60-kDa glycoprotein named metanestin was identified by molecular cloning. The glycoprotein had a twice-repeated motif of Pro-Gly-Pro-Gly and carried metastasis-associated carbohydrate epitopes. The antibody to the protein portion of metanestin strongly reacted with lymph-node metastasis of transit
