ABSTRACT:
A nucleic acid molecule which codes for a tumor rejection antigen precursor which is in turn processed to antigens presented by an HLA molecule is described. The HLA molecule may be HLA-A2, HLA-A28, HLA-B13, HLA-B44, or HLA-Cw6. The antigens are also described. These materials are useful in diagnostic and therapeutic methodologies. The tumor rejection antigen precursor is not tyrosinase, which has previously been identified as a tumor rejection antigen precursor processed to an antigen presented by HLA-B44.
