Journal ArticleDOI

Genes encoding tumor-specific antigens are expressed in human myeloma cells

TL;DR: A significant expression of genes of the MAGE, BAGE, GAGE, and LAGE-1/NY-ESO-1 families is detected in a high proportion of bone marrow samples from patients with advanced multiple myeloma, providing a basis for clinical trials aimed at inducing a cellular immune response directed at malignant plasma cells in advanced myel cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is There a Clinical Future for IDO1 Inhibitors After the Failure of Epacadostat in Melanoma

TL;DR: Indoleamine-2,3 dioxygenase 1 contributes to tumor immunosuppression by enzymatically degrading tryptophan, which is required for T cell activity, and producing kynurenine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of the gene of tum- transplantation antigen P35B: presence of a point mutation in the antigenic allele.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, the homologous peptide corresponding to the normal sequence of the gene had the same effect, indicating that this tum‐ mutation does not exert its effect by generating the aggretope or the epitope of the antigenic peptide.
Journal ArticleDOI

MAGE-A genes are not expressed in human leukemias.

TL;DR: It is concluded that MAGE-A genes are not expressed in human leukemias after screening of a large panel including 154 patients, where only weak signal were detected in a few samples.
