• Background: MAGE-1 is a cancer testis antigen (CTA) expressing in a variety of human cancers (Pereira CM et al., 2012). It is a human melanoma antigen recognized by cytolytic T lymphocytes. MAGE-1 induces a tumor specific immune response so it is thought to be a potential therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy (Ma ZY et al., 2002). The gene for MAGE-1 belongs to a family of 12 genes known as MAGE-A cluster located on the X chromosome in region q28 (Laduron S et al., 2004). This relies primarily on DNA methylation for repression in somatic tissues but in many types of tumors, the promoter of these genes becomes demethylated and transcription becomes activated (Loriot A et al., 2006). Monoclonal antibody aganist a recombinant feline melanoma antigen 1 (fMAGE-1) has been generated and is effective against feline lymphoma cell lines and tumor tissues (Ma ZY et al., 2002).
