Objective :To explore peptide-specific CTLs response and the immunological activity of the HLA- A2-restricted CTL candidate epitopes derived from tumor antigen MAGE-3 and MAGE-n in vitro. Methods: The MAGE-3 and MAGE-n candidate HLA-A2 restricted CTL epitopes were synthesized with solid phase strategies, purified with reverse phase HPLC and identified with mass spectrometry. Peptide-specific CTLs were induced from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of HLA-A2 positive healthy donors by multiple stimulations with peptide-pulsed T2 cells. The capability of CTLs recognizing and lysing HLA-A2^+ MAGE- 3^+ and MAGE- n + tumor cells was detected with lacatate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. Results: The results demonstrated the combination of MAGE -3 and MAGE-n epitope tumor-specific CTL responsed in vitro specifically and effectively. Conclusion: Combination of two epitopes could elicit stronger MAGE-specific antitumor immunity.
