Several tumor antigens recognized by T cells have now been identified at the molecular level. Various mechanisms can account for their expression: activation of normally silent genes; point mutations; chromosome translocations; and post-translational modifications of proteins. This led to the notion
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
