## We have pursued our analysis of potential tumor-rejection antigens recognized on human melanoma by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL). We reported previously that 3 distinct antigens ( A,B,C) were recognized on melanoma cell line SK29-MEL in association with HLA-A2. Selection for melanoma
To see whether different antigens expressed by the same tumor are recognized by distinct T-cell receptors (TCR), we used cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) lines known to lyse in vitro the syngeneic BALB/c adenocarcinoma C-26. Four of these CD3+ CD8+ lines showed 4 different patterns of lysis on a panel o
Previous studies have shown that self-antigens overexpressed in malignant tissue can provide a basis for a tumorspecific immune response. The mucin MUC2 is strongly overexpressed in all mucinous tumors of colon, breast, ovary and pancreas. In the corresponding normal tissue it is either not expresse
