## Background and objectives: We surveyed expression of melanoma antigen-encoding genes in lung cancer because of promising implications for immunotherapy. ## Methods: We studied 57 human lung carcinoma specimens using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr). ## Results: In
MACE-I has been identified as a human gene, which directs the expression of an antigen being recognized on melanoma cells by autologous cytolytic T cells. MACE-I is expressed in melanomas and some other tumors. It has been proposed that this gene may be linked to the transformation event and therefo
