Did you mean Melanoma-Associated Antigen?

GlossaryMelanoma-Associated Antigen

proteins found in tumors, aiding cancer immunotherapy research

Melanoma-Associated Antigen (MAGE) refers to a group of proteins that are typically expressed in various types of tumors, including melanoma, but are not usually found in normal tissues except for the testis and placenta. These antigens are important in cancer research and immunotherapy because they can serve as targets for immune system-based treatments, helping the body to recognize and attack cancer cells.
