Abstract

“Cancer-germline” genes such as those of the MAGE family are expressed in many tumors and in male germline cells, but are silent in normal tissues. They encode shared tumor-specific antigens that have been used in therapeutic vaccination trials of cancer patients. It was previously demonstrated that MAGE-1 peptide KVLEYVIKV was presented by HLA-A 0201 molecules on the surface of a human breast carcinoma cell line, but no human specific CTL had been isolated so far. Here, we have used HLA-A2/MAGE-1 fluorescent multimers to isolate from blood cells three human CTL clones that recognized the MAGE-1 peptide. These clones killed efficiently HLA-A2 tumor cells expressing MAGE-1, whether or not they were treated with IFN-γ, suggesting that the MAGE-1 antigen is processed efficiently by both the standard proteasome and the immunoproteasome. These results indicate that the MAGE-1.A2 peptide can be used for antitumoral vaccination.
