Popis: The expression of 14 individual and two groups of tumor antigens was characterized for colorectal carcinoma by RT-PCR using 26 colorectal carcinoma specimens, eight cell lines, six samples of patients with inflammatory bowl diseases, and nine specimens from different locations of an individual patient with a metastasized rectal carcinoma. The most frequently detected mRNAs were MAGE-A1 (58%), GAGE-3-7 (54%), and cTAGE-5a (31%). At medium frequencies (12-19%) we found cTAGE-1, MAGE-A2, se57-1, RAGE-4, and GAGE-1,2,8, while other tumor antigens were expressed rarely (
