Immunohistochemical analysis showing loss of Melan-A, but
not CT antigen expression over time. Staining for Melan-A
(antibody M27C10), NY-ESO-1/LAGE-1 (antibody D8.38, a gift
from G. Spagnoli, Basel, Switzerland), and MAGE-A proteins (detected
either by clone 57B, top 2 panels, or clone 6C1, bottom 2 panels)
was performed on paraffin sections of metastases removed at the
times indicated. Subcutaneous metastases (Apr. 03, Mar. 04), LN
(Oct. 03) and the last brain metastasis (June 07) are shown. Insets
show CT antigen negative areas in the last metastasis.
