Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) recognize peptides presented at the cell surface in association with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. The finding that peptides binding to MHC class I molecules share common amino acid motifs renders feasible the selection of antigenic peptides

Previous reports have shown that transcutaneous immunization (TCI) with proteins or peptides in combination with adjuvants efficiently induces specific cellular and humoral immune responses. However, depending on the kind of skin pretreatment, induction of cellular immune responses was restricted to
The human wild-type (wt) p53.264-272 peptide is a universal tumor antigen and recognized by HLA-A\*0201 (A2.1)-restricted CTL. Generation of this epitope by constitutive 20S proteasomes is prevented by a p53 R to H hotspot mutation at the C-terminal flanking residue 273. We report on the impact of t
## Abstract The influence of interleukin 2 (IL2) on the cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes from patients with melanoma against autologous and a variety of allogeneic melanoma cells was studied. IL2 was produced from blood lymphocytes cultured for 24 h with phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and purified by m
## Abstract T helper cell induction and the specificity of T cell‐mediated help as generated during alloreactive and H‐2‐restricted, virus‐ or hapten‐specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses have been compared. With the use of a double‐chamber culture system, it was possible to dissect and s
