Abstract
Isolated nucleic acid molecules are described, which have complements that hybridize to a nucleic acid molecule referred to as MAGE-2. The isolated nucleic acid molecules are expressed in some melanoma cells, as well as other types of cancer cells. The invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules which encode fragments of the proteins encoded by these nucleic acid molecules, and nucleic acid molecules which encode the ultimate product, the so-called tumor rejection antigens.
