To identify immunogenic targets in osteosarcoma tissue a cDNA expression library was constructed from the diagnostic tumour biopsy of an eight year old girl with osteosarcoma. By serological screening with pooled, diluted sera of five osteosarcoma patients 20 antigens were identified. The antigens were further characterised by cDNA sequence and mRNA expression analyses, and antibody responses against these antigens were determined in sera of healthy controls and patients with paediatric tumours. By this approach, antigens with potential impact in the pathophysiology, diagnosis and/or therapy of osteosarcoma were identified.
