Background

MART-1 (also known as Melan-A) is a melanocyte differentiation antigen recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Six other melanoma associated antigens recognized by autologous cytotoxic T cells include MAGE-1, Tyrosinase, gp100, gp75, BAGE-1, and GAGE-1. SubCellular fractionation shows that MART-1 is present in melanosomes and endoplasmic reticulum. Human MART-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
