Expression of MAGE genes in primary and metastatic cutaneous melanoma
Abstract
Human genes MAGE‐1 and MAGE‐3 code for antigens that are recognized on melanoma cells by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes. These antigens may constitute useful targets for specific anti‐tumor immunization of cancer patients, since genes MAGE‐1 and MAGE‐3 are expressed in a number of tumors of different histological types, but are not expressed in normal adult tissues other than testis. This also applies to genes MAGE‐2 and MAGE‐4, which are closely related to MAGE‐1 and MAGE‐2. We have analyzed the expression of these 4 MAGE genes in cutaneous melanoma. Sixteen of 100 primary tumors vs. 69 (48%) of 145 metastases from individual patients expressed MAGE‐1. Similar differences in the frequency of gene expression between primary and metastatic tumor samples were observed for MAGE‐2, MAGE‐2, and MAGE‐4.MAGE expression in primary tumors was correlated with tumor thickness: there was a significantly increased frequency in the expression of MAGE‐1, ‐2 and ‐3 in tumors of greater thickness. Benign and dysplastic nevi, as well as in situ melanomas, did not express any of the 4 MAGE genes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
