## 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
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
