Alles, was man gegenwärtig über tumorassoziierte Antigene (TAA) und ihre Typen weiß, wurde in diesem hochaktuellen Handbuch zusammengefasst. Die Beiträge gehen auf Grundlagen, Verfahren zur Identifikation von TAAs und vielfältige medizinische Anwendungen ein; betont wird die Notwendigkeit einer präzisen, im klinischen Umfeld validierten Funktionsanalyse. Abgerundet wird der Text durch einen Überblick über alle gegenwärtig zu therapeutischen Zwecken zugelassenen Antikörper.

Olivier Gires is a group leader at the ENT research department, Munich Medical Center, Germany and leading head of the Clinical Cooperation Group Molecular Oncology at the GSF. In 1999, he obtained his PhD in biology for his work on Epstein-Barr virus´ oncoprotein LMP1. Thereafter, Olivier Gires focused on the identification and molecular characterization of tumor-associated antigens with particular emphasis on the elucidation of the function of the therapeutic target EpCAM. Work by his group unraveled the oncogenic potential of EpCAM along with underlying molecular mechanisms. Additionally, he was decisively involved in the development of the target identification technology AMIDA.
