Peptides derived from the melanoma-associated MART-1/Melan-A antigen are currently implemented in immunotherapy for inducing or augmenting T-cell responses directed against peptides expressed by autologous tumor cells in HLA-A2+ patients with melanoma. Here, we describe the specificity of the T-cell
A prediction of the theory of immunologic surveillance is that tumour antigens can be recognised by cell-mediated immunity during early development of the primary tumour by formation of tumour antigen-specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) and that such recognition leads to destruction of those tumou
