Target
None
Molecular classification
Cancer/Testis Antigen, ESO/LAGE family
01

Overview

L Antigen Family Member 1a (LAGE-1a) is a tumor-associated antigen belonging to the ESO/LAGE family of cancer-testis antigens. It is encoded by the CTAG2 gene and exhibits restricted expression primarily in cancerous tissues and testicular germ cells, making it a target for cancer immunotherapy. LAGE-1a can elicit immune responses and is being explored for targeted therapies such as therapeutic vaccines or adoptive T-cell therapies.
