General description

The peptide represents amino acids 27-35 of MART-1 protein that is the melanoma antigen recognized by T cells. This peptide mimics the natural epitope that is presented by T cells in humans with reactivity to melanoma cells.
Melanoma-associated antigen recognized by T cells-1 (MART-1), also known as Melan-A, is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 9p24.1. The encoded protein is a hydrophobic transmembrane protein. MART-1 is mainly expressed in skin and retinae melanocytes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Melanoma-associated antigen recognized by T cells-1 (MART-1) is essential for the functioning of glycoprotein-100 (gp100). Overexpression of the gene has been observed in cutaneous melanoma (CM). In addition, deletion of Mart-1 gene leads to parotid metastatic melanoma.

Dendritic cells (DC) can achieve cross-presentation of naturally-occurring tumor-associated antigens after phagocytosis and processing of dying tumor cells. They have been used in different clinical settings to vaccinate cancer patients. We have previously used gamma-irradiated MART-1 expressing melanoma cells as
