MAGE-A3 peptides presented by HLA class II molecules

摘要

The invention describes HLA class II binding peptides encoded by the MAGE-A3 tumor associated gene, as well as nucleic acids encoding such peptides and antibodies relating thereto. The peptides stimulate the activity and proliferation of CD4⁺ T lymphocytes. Methods and products also are provided for diagnosing and treating conditions characterized by expression of the MAGE-A3 gene.
