ABSTRACT:
The complete nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the human MAGE-1 antigen are provided. Peptides from residues of the C-terminal are used to define epitopes that stimulate HLA-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity against MAGE-1 antigens. The peptides are particularly useful in methods for stimulating the immune response of individuals against MAGE-1 antigens associated with melanomas.
