Disease relevance of MAGEB2

  • We mapped the state of methylation of three of these genes, MELANOMA ANTIGEN B2 GENE (MAGEB2), METALLOPROTEINASE 2 (MMP2) and WIF1, which are involved in tumor growth and metastasis [1].
  • The D10/6-271-specific CTL clone required approximately 3 nM exogenous peptide for half-maximal lysis of target cells and was able to specifically recognize endogenous DAM antigen on HLA-A2+ melanoma cells infected with a vaccinia vector recombinant for gene DAM-6 [2].
