✦ Synopsis


This report describes the isolation, and the phenotypic and functional characterization of Plasmodium fulciparum-specific human T lymphocyte clones (TLC) obtained from 2 acutely infected and 4 clinically immune donors. Approximately one third of the TLC obtained from the acutely infected patients had the phenotype CD8+/CD4-. No such clones were obtained from the clinically immune donors. P. fulciparumspecific, major histocompatibility complex-restricted CDS' clones can lyse unrelated tumor cell targets in the presence of anti-CD3 antibodies, suggesting that these clones have cytotoxic potential. Conversely no killing was obtained with two CD4' P. fulciparum-specific TLC, even in the presence of anti-CD3 antibody. In addition the helper function of a CD4' clone was demonstrated in a T/B cell cooperation system.

## Abstract The specificity of cell‐mediated cytotoxicity against melanoma cells in vitro has been analyzed in a large number of studies with cells both from normal and melanoma subjects. As in a number of other, recent, similar human studies, no evidence for tumour specificity was found. Effector
