Expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens was induced in eight out of nine freshly prepared tumor cell suspensions by exposure to interferon (IFN gamma) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF alpha) in vitro. The untreated, class-I-antigen-negative, and the treated, antigen-posit

## Abstract SSX2 is a member of the family of cancer/testis antigens. The SSX2 derived peptide SSX2~103β111~ has been shown to be presented to cytotoxic Tβlymphocytes (CTL) by MajorβHistocompatibility (MHC) ClassβI complexes after endogenous processing, more precisely by the allele HLAβA\*0201. The
## 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
