However, these data are scarce and solely based on mRNA analyses; nothing is known about their presence at the protein level. Here, we analyzed the expression of various CT antigens in placental tissues from gestational age week 5 to week 42 using monoclonal antibodies to various antigens of the MAGE-A and -C families, NY-ESO-1, as well as GAGE. We show that CT antigen ...[more]
