## Abstract Oncogenic transformation in human and experimental animals is not necessarily followed by the appearance of a tumor mass. The immune system of the host can recognize tumor antigens by the presentation of small antigenic peptides to the receptor of cytotoxic Tβlymphocytes (CTLs) and reje
## Abstract In humans as in other animal species, CD8^+^ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play an important if not the major role in controlling virusβinfected and malignant cell growth. The interactions between CD8^+^ T cells and target cells are mediated by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I ant
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-a) was compared to immune interferon (IFNq) for its ability to modulate the expression and shedding of HLA antigens, of intercellular adhesion molecule l (ICAM l) and of high-molecular-weight melanomaassociated antigen (HMW MAA) by a panel of melanoma cell lines. The latte
