Isolated nucleic acid molecules which are members of the mage-xp family and uses thereof

摘要

The invention relates to members of the MAGE-Xp family of nucleic acid molecules. These molecules differ from the previously described MAGE nucleic acid molecules in that members of the MAGE-Xp family do not hybridize to the previously identified MAGE sequences. Further, the members of the MAGE-Xp family are found on the Xp arm of the X chromosome rather than on the Xq chromosome, as was the case with the previously identified MAGE genes.
