Recognition of human tumors: SEREX expression cloning to identify tumour antigens

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Immunology and Medicine Series ((IMME,volume 30))

Abstract

The search for tumor antigens which are able to elicit specific immune responses in the tumor-bearing host is one of the cardinal quests in tumor immunology. The knowledge of their molecular nature provides us not only with potential targets for immunotherapeutic interventions against neoplastic cells, but also provides us with new disease markers and new insights into the molecular mechanisms of malignant transformation.
