MAGE-3 PEPTIDES PRESENTED BY HLA CLASS II MOLECULES

摘要

The invention describes HLA class II binding peptides encoded by the MAGE-3 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 are also provided for diagnosing and treating conditions characterized by expression of the MAGE-3 gene.
