  • Tumor rejection antigens presented by HLA-B44 molecules, and uses thereof
    Patent number: 6060257
    Abstract: Tumor rejection antigens presented by HLA-244 molecules are described. These peptides are useful in diagnostic and therapeutic methodologies. The tumor rejection antigens are derived from MAGE tumor rejection antigen precursors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 1996
    Date of Patent: May 9, 2000
    Assignee: Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research
    Inventors: Jean Herman, Pierre Coulie, Thierry Boon-Falleur, Pierre van der Bruggen, Immanuel Luescher
  • Photoreactive peptide derivatives
    Patent number: 5827073
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for making synthetic, photoreactive peptides and their use. A photoreactively labelled amino acid is incorporated into the peptide. The resulting peptide, when compared to the non-labelled form, is not impaired with respect to its ability to bind an MHC molecule.
