NCIt definition : A synthetic peptide consisting of the amino acids 170 through 178 of the MAGE-12 melanoma
antigen. MAGE-12 170-178 has been identified as an epitope recognized by tumor infiltrating
lymphocytes (TIL). Vaccination with MAGE-12 170-178 stimulate the host immune system
to mount a TIL response against tumor cells expressing MAGE-12, potentially resulting
in decreased tumor growth. (NCI04);
