Genes of the MAGE, BAGE, GAGE, and LAGE-1/NY-ESO-1
families encode antigenic peptides that are presented by HLA class I
molecules and that are recognized on human tumors by autologous
cytolytic T lymphocytes. These genes are expressed in many solid tumor
types but not in normal tissues, except male germline cells. Because the latter cells are devoid of HLA molecules, the derived antigens are
strictly tumor-specific and should constitute safe immunogens for
cancer immunotherapy. We detected a significant expression of these
genes in a high proportion of bone marrow samples from patients with
advanced multiple myeloma. This observation provides a basis for
clinical trials aimed at inducing a cellular immune response directed
at malignant plasma cells in advanced myeloma patients.
