## Abstract T lymphocytes play an important role in tumor rejection and their response to human malignant melanoma has been well documented. In contrast, the existence of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) to pancreatic cancer remains unclear. Tumor‐associated lymphocytes (TAL) and peripheral blood mono

## Abstract ## Objective HLA–B27 is capable of forming in vitro a heavy‐chain homodimer structure lacking β~2~‐microglobulin. We undertook this study to ascertain if patients with spondylarthritis express β~2~‐microglobulin–free HLA–B27 heavy chains in the form of homodimers and receptors for HLA–
## Potentiation of immunogenicity of malignant cells by gene transduction provides a unique opportunity for immune targeting of human cancers in vivo. This approach is undoubtedly influenced by the ability of the malignant cells to process and present endogenously target epitopes on their cell surf
The molecular basis of the recognition of class-I HLA antigens by allo-reactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) remains obscure. This article reviews our work in which HLA-B27-specific allo-reactive CTL clones were obtained and their fine specificity was analyzed with a panel of structurally defined H
