Work in animal models has suggested that interactions of members of the 87 receptor family (e.g., 87-I, 87-2) on tumor cells with their ligands CD28 and CTLA-4 on cytotoxic T cells (CTL) are important for the induction of anti-tumor immunity against malignant melanoma (MM). To determine whether thes
