Abstract excerpt
NY-ESO-1 is a tumor-specific shared antigen with distinctive immunogenicity. Both CD8(+) T cells and class-switched Ab responses have been detected from patients with cancer. In this study, a CD4(+) T cell line was generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a melanoma patient and was shown to recognize NY-ESO-1 peptides presented by HLA-DP4, a dominant MHC class II allele expressed in 43--70% of...
