MART-1 (26-35) (human) TFA 是 MART-1 蛋白 26 至 35 氨基酸片段。
MART-1 (26-35) (human) TFA is amino acid residue 26 to 35 of MART-1 protein.
MART-1 (Melan-A) gene is 18 kb long and comprises five exons. It is expressed in most melanoma tumor samples, and among normal cells, only in melanocytes [1] . In cancer immunotherapy, epitopes and variants derived from the MART-1/Melan-A protein are widely used as clinical vaccines. The epitopes spanning amino acid residues 26-35 and 27-35 from the MART-1/Melan-A protein, highly expressed in melanoma cells, provide a prime example of T cell recognition of multiple peptides and the use of peptide variants designed to elicit altered immunological responses [2] .
