Although most normal somatic tissues are void of CTA expression, due to epigenetic silencing of gene expression, their expression is upregulated in a wide variety of human solid and liquid tumors (1,2). As such, CTAs have garnered much attention as attractive targets for a variety of immunotherapy-based approaches to selectively attack tumors (3). Melanoma-associated antigen-A10 (MAGE-A10) is a cancer testis antigen and belongs to the type I MAGE family of proteins. Unlike other members of the MAGE-A subfamily, MAGE-A10 is a nuclear protein (4). Research studies have shown that MAGE-A10 expression is normally restricted to the human testis and placenta but is aberrantly upregulated in a number of human solid tumors, such as lung cancer, melanoma, bladder cancer, and esophageal carcinoma (4-6). Due to its upregulated expression in human tumors and high degree of immunogenicity, MAGE-A10 has received significant attention as a novel immunotherapy target through the use of vaccines and adoptive cell therapy (7-9).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nCancer\/testis antigen 1.10; cancer\/testis antigen family 1, member 10; CT1.10; MAGAA; MAGE family member A10; MAGE-10 antigen; MAGE-A10; MAGE10; MAGEA10; melanoma antigen family A, 10; melanoma antigen family A10; Melanoma-associated antigen 10; MGC10599\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 62\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799858008233,"sku":"68978S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-68978s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
