The MAGE genes encode certain tumor‐associated antigens recognized by cytotoxic T
lymphocytes. We investigated the expression of the MAGE‐1, ‐2, ‐3, ‐4, ‐41 and ‐6 genes in 88 …

Five MAGE‐3‐derived peptides carrying an HLA‐A24‐binding motif were synthesized. Binding
capacity of these peptides was analyzed by an HLA‐class‐I stabilization assay. Two of …

Evidence has accumulated indicating that HLA-A2-restricted CTLs specific for human wild-type
sequence p53 epitopes lyse tumor cells expressing mutant p53. To explore the …

Background: Association between certain human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types such as
HLA-A1 and -A3 and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) has been …

We examined the frequency of p53 mutations in 38 oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas
(SCC), using both a yeast functional assay and a conventional immunohistochemical …

Although Type I allergy is a trigger for provoking chronic inflammation, whether allergic
sinusitis (AS) can be distinguished from sinusitis due to chronic infection is still debated. This …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Tumor volume and cartilage invasion have been
suggested as prognostic factors of glottic carcinomas following definitive radiation therapy. …

Eosinophilic granuloma of the soft tissue (EOSG) is a rare disease of unknown cause. Since
the in vivo mechanism of eosinophilia remains unclear, the present study was performed to …

The messenger RNA level of several MAGE genes, some of which have been proven to
encode tumor rejection antigens recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes, were examined in 41 …

Cytotoxicity was induced in lymphocytes (CL) from 10 out of 15 patients by autologous mixed
lymphocyte tumor cell culture and further cultivation with recombinant interleukin-2. In cells …
