The adoptive transfer of tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells (CTL) offers a promising perspective in cancer immunotherapy. However, the ex vivo-generated T lymphocytes are mostly IL-2-dependent. Here we explored the possibility of circumventing the requirement for IL-2, known for severe side effects in

DNA vaccines induce CTL attack on target tumor epitopes, but tumor elimination in vivo also requires sufficient effector CTL to enter the site, guided by inflammatory chemokines. Many herpesviruses contain genes for chemokine and chemokine receptor-like proteins to protect infected cells from immune
Antigenic peptides derived from differentiation antigens of the melanocyte lineage were recently identified in human melanomas as targets for MHC-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). CTL directed against peptides derived from the Melan A/MART-I, tyrosinase and gp100/Pme117 antigens can be detec
