## Abstract CD8^+^ T cells are critical for protecting the body from infectious disease. To achieve this protection, CD8^+^ T cells must undergo a highly involved process of differentiation that involves the activation of naïve/quiescent cells followed by robust rounds of cell division and the acqu
Blood lymphocytes from HLA-A\*0201-subtyped melanoma patients and healthy controls were screened for the presence of T cells specific for HLA-A\*0201-binding melanoma and viral peptide antigens by the enzyme-linked immunoSPOT (ELISPOT) assay. CD8(+) cells were tested for peptide-specific IFN-gamma r
