Abstract excerpt
Antigens that are tumor specific yet retained by tumor cells despite tumor progression offer stable and specific targets for immunologic and possibly other therapeutic interventions. Therefore, we have studied two CD4(+) T cell-recognized tumor-specific antigens that were retained during evolution of two ultraviolet-light-induced murine cancers to more aggressive growth. The antigens are ribosomal proteins...
