How MDX-1379 works
The peptides in MDX-1378 are part of a protein normally found on melanocytes, or pigmented skin cells,and are also present on melanoma cells. These melanoma peptides are recognized by cytotoxic T cells in melanoma patients that are positive for HLA-A2, a human immune system compatibility antigen that is expressed in approximately half of the melanoma population. Medarex has in-licensed the MDX-1379 vaccine peptides from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
