Method for determining head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, prostate carcinomas, and bladder tumors by assaying for mage-3

摘要

A method for determining head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, bladder tumors and prostate carcinomas is described. The method involves assaying for expression of the gene coding for tumor rejection antigen precursor MAGE-3, or its expression product. Various assays, and kits useful for these assays, are described.
