A series of tumor cell antigens that are recognized by cytolytic T lymphocytes has been characterized this year. Besides the antigens derived from proteins specifically expressed in tumors, many melanoma antigens derive from melanocytic differentiation proteins. In addition, antigens unique to indiv

## Abstract Cyclin‐A2, a key cell cycle regulator, has been shown to be overexpressed in various types of malignancies with little expression in normal tissue. Such tumor‐associated genes potentially are useful targets for cancer immunotherapy. However, high‐avidity cyclin‐specific T cells are cons
To see whether different antigens expressed by the same tumor are recognized by distinct T-cell receptors (TCR), we used cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) lines known to lyse in vitro the syngeneic BALB/c adenocarcinoma C-26. Four of these CD3+ CD8+ lines showed 4 different patterns of lysis on a panel o
