recommended for detection of MAGE-A12 of human origin by IF, IHC(P) and ELISA
Modification Notes
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 and in normal testis and placenta. MAGE-A12 (Melanoma-associated antigen 12), also known as MAGE12 or CT1.12 (Cancer/testis antigen 1.12), is a 314 amino acid protein that contains one MAGE domain and is thought to play a role in tumor progression. Like other members of the MAGE family, MAGE-A12 is expressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, breast cancer and lung cancer, suggesting that MAGE-A12 plays an important role in carcinogenesis.
