General description

Melanoma-associatiated antigen 1 (MAGE-1) is part of the CG (cancer-germline) group of genes and is a tumor-specific antigen. MAGE-1 is a member of the MAGE-A family. MAGE-1 gene is localized on human chromosome Xq28. Monoclonal Anti-MAGE-1 (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma MA454 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (SP2/0 cells) and splenocytes from mice immunized with human recombinant MAGE-1.

Specificity

The antibody does not recognize MAGE-2 and MAGE-3.

Immunogen

recombinant human MAGE-1.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-MAGE-1 antibody produced in mouse has been used in:
  • ELISA
  • immunoblotting
  • immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

The melanoma antigen genes (MAGE) might play a key role in neural development and apoptosis. Expression of melanoma-associated antigen 1 (MAGE-1) in neoplastic cells depends on the binding of the transcription factor Ets to non-methylated cis regulatory sequences, located in its promoter. MAGE-1 expression is mediatedby the B and B′ domains of MAGE-A1 gene. Expression of MAGE-1A was induced in non MAGE-A1 expressing tumor cells once treated with demethylating reagent, 5-aza-2-(5DC). Melanoma-associatiated antigen 1 (MAGE-1) has been shown to be expressed in different types of cancers.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

The human MAGE-1 gene encodes a melanoma peptide antigen recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes. To produce antibodies against the MAGE-1 gene product, several approaches were taken. Three oligopeptides were synthesized based on predicted MAGE-1 amino acid sequences and were
