We investigated the expression of five MAA - Melan-A/MART-1, tyrosinase, gp100, MAGE-1 and MAGE-3 - by means of FACS analysis in 50 melanoma cell cultures and compared them to the cultures of human foreskin-derived melanocytes and melanoma cell line UKRV-Mel2.

Gene Ther. 2003 Oct;10(22):1891-902.

These findings clearly revealed that highly efficient MAA gene transduction to DCs by AdRGD could greatly improve the efficacy of DC-based immunotherapy against melanoma.

To assess antibody responses to potential melanoma/melanocyte autoantigens, the open-reading frame sequences of tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-1, TRP-2, and melanoma-associated glycoprotein antigen family (gp100/pmel17) genes were cloned and expressed as recombinant proteins in E. coli.

As of now, several varieties of melanoma-associated antigens (MAA) have been identified: MART1/melan A, tyrosinase, MITF, gp100, members of MAGE family, S100, CD63 and CD146.

These antigens belong to three main groups: tumor-associated testis-specific antigens (MAGE, BAGE, GAGE and PRAME), melanocyte differentiation antigens (tyrosinase, Melan-A/MART-1, gp100, TRP-1 and TRP-2) and mutated or aberrantly expressed antigens (MUM-1, CDK4, beta-catenin, gp100-in4, p15 and N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V).
