Background:

The melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) family consists of a number of antigens recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The MAGE genes were initially isolated from different kinds of tumors, and based on their virtually exclusive tumor-specific expression in adult tissues, they have been used as targets for cancer immunotherapy. MAGE genes encode for tumor-rejection antigens and are expressed in tumors of different histologic types, but not in normal tissues, with the exception of testis and placenta. Although a large number of MAGE genes have now been identified and extensively studied in tumors of various origin, their function in normal cells remains unknown.

Specificity:

MAGE-1 (F293) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of MAGE-1 protein. This antibody also detects endogenous levels of Tumor antigen MAGE-N.

Alternative names:

Melanoma-associated antigen 1; Antigen MZ2-E; Cancer/testis antigen 1.1; CT1.1; MAGE-1 antigen; MAGEA1; MAGE1; MAGE1A; Tumor antigen MAGE-N
