摘要
胎盘特异性基因PLAC1(placenta-specific 1 gene)具有癌-睾丸(cancer-testis antigen,CT)抗原的特点,即能在多种肿瘤组织中表达,而在正常组织(除胎盘和睾丸)几乎不表达。PLAC1编码一种膜蛋白,该蛋白质具有一定的免疫原性,能在肿瘤患者体内引起体液免疫和细胞免疫。目前的研究结果显示PLAC1代表一类新的肿瘤相关抗原,可能成为肿瘤免疫治疗的一个靶点。
Placenta-specific gene PLAC1 is characterized by cancer-testis antigen,which is frequently expressed in different types of tumors while it is hardly expressed in normal tissues(except for placenta and testis).PLAC1 encodes a membrane protein that is immunogenic and is capable of eliciting immune responses in tumor patients.The current results reveal that PLAC1 represents a new class of tumor associated antigen and it is a promising target for tumor immunotherapy.
