Tumor-Associated Antigens (TAAs) for the Serological Diagnosis of Osteosarcoma

Part One Tumor - associated Antigens ( TAAs ) : Subclasses of TAAs

Mini-array of multiple tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) in the immunodiagnosis of breast cancer

Sera from patients with cancer contain antibodies which react with a unique group of autologous cellular antigens called tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). This study aimed to determine whether a mini-array of multiple TAAs would enhance antibody detection and be a useful approach in breast cancer detection and diagnosis. The mini-array of multiple TAAs was composed of ten TAAs, including Imp1, ...

Tumor-associated antigen arrays for the serological diagnosis of cancer.

The recognition that human tumors stimulate the production of autoantibodies against autologous cellular proteins called tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) has opened the door to the possibility that autoantibodies could be exploited as serological tools for the early diagnosis and management of cancer. Cancer-associated autoantibodies are often driven by intracellular proteins that are mutated, ...

Mini-array of multiple tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) in the immunodiagnosis of esophageal cancer.

Sera of cancer patients may contain antibodies that react with a unique group of autologous cellular antigens called tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). The present study aimed to determine whether a mini-array of multiple TAAs would enhance antibody detection and be a useful approach in esophageal cancer detection and diagnosis. Our mini-array of multiple TAAs consisted of eleven antigens, p53, ...

Proteome Serological Determination of Tumor-Associated Antigens in Melanoma

Proteome serology may complement expression library-based approaches as strategy utilizing the patients' immune responses for the identification pathogenesis factors and potential targets for therapy and markers for diagnosis. Melanoma is a relatively immunogenic tumor and antigens recognized by melanoma-specific T cells have been extensively studied. The specificities of antibody responses to ...
