## Abstract We investigated the frequency of p53 mutations in 47 pediatric brain tumors of various histologic subtypes that were collected over a period of 5 years. The specimens included 15 primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs), 17 low grade astrocytomas, one anaplastic astrocytoma, three gliob

## Abstract An important class of tumorβspecific antigens is encoded by male germlineβspecific genes, such as __MAGE__ genes, that are activated in many cancers of various histological types as a result of the demethylation of their promoter region. A number of these genes were shown to be expresse
## Abstract Cancer/germline (CG) antigens represent promising targets for widely applicable monoβ and multiantigen cancer vaccines for nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Since little is known about their composite expression in this tumor type, we analyzed 7 CG genes (__MAGEβA3__, __NYβESOβ1__, __L
## Abstract The Apc^Min/+^ mouse is a popular animal model for studies of human colon cancer, but the molecular changes associated with neoplasia in this system have only been partially characterized. Our aim was to identify novel genes involved in tumorigenesis in this model. RNA from intestinal a
