Abstract:
Cancer/testis(CT) antigens,of which more than 40 kinds have now been identified,are encoded by genes that are expressed normally in the human germ line,and are also expressed in various tumor types,including melanoma,and carcinomas of the bladder,lung and liver.These immunogenic proteins are being vigorously pursued as targets for therapeutic cancer vaccines.In this paper,the classification,expression and function of CT antigens are reviewed.
