## Abstract MHC class I tetramers containing peptide epitopes are sensitive tools for detecting antigen‐specific CD8^+^ T‐cell responses. We demonstrate here that binding of HLA‐A2 tetramers to CD8^+^ T cells specific for the melanoma‐associated antigen Melan‐A/MART‐1 can be fine‐tuned by altering
In cancer patients, NK cell inhibitory receptors (IR) are expressed on a fraction of melanomaspecific lymphocytes with a unique reactivity for tumor antigens derived from normal, nonmutated genes (differentiation antigens). It is presently not known whether expression of these receptors is induced d
To generate non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)-reactive lymphocytes, we transfected an HLA-A2-expressing human NSCLC line (1355) with the cDNA encoding the lymphocyte co-stimulatory molecule CD80. Following selection in G418, 1355.7 demonstrated stable cell-surface expression of CD80. Allogeneic mix
