The adoptive transfer of tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells (CTL) offers a promising perspective in cancer immunotherapy. However, the ex vivo-generated T lymphocytes are mostly IL-2-dependent. Here we explored the possibility of circumventing the requirement for IL-2, known for severe side effects in
This study investigates the generation of primary melanoma cell-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in vitro. Induction of peptide-specific CTLs from unfractionated naive peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HLA-A2 healthy donors was assessed using 2 recently described 9-mer epitopes from the
## BACKGROUND. Most strategies in cancer immunotherapy are aimed at the induction of a strong cellular immune response against the tumor. Particularly, CD8 + T lymphocytes have been proven in multiple animal models to be critical for the eradication of solid tumors. METHODS. We used a population o
The application of dendritic cells (DC) to the active immunotherapy of cancer currently relies on the generation of potent DC capable of presenting tumor antigens such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). It is unknown whether the T cells of patients with advanced malignancies can be reliably stimulat
