## Abstract Melanoma is a disease which has been shown to be responsive to immune intervention. This has been suggested by reports of spontaneous responses of metastatic disease with strong immune infiltrates, and supported by recent data correlating clinical response after IFNฮฑ treatment with deve
The study of specific immunity in human cancers has been hampered by the elusive distribution and heterogeneity of effector cells. In this study, we have investigated the distribution of autologous melanoma-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in 18 different distant metastases from melanomas (9
We previously showed that exposure to UV radiation after immunization suppresses Th1 and Th2 immune responses, leading to impaired Ab and allo-immune responses, but the impact of UV radiation after immunization on anti-tumor immune responses mediated by tumor-specific CD8 1 T cell responses remains
