Abstract excerpt
In this study we have analyzed CD30-antigen expression in three melanoma-directed cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones with a T helper 0 (Th0)-like cytokine secretion profile (i.e. interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and interferon (IFN)-gamma). We show that all CTL clones expressed high levels of CD30 upon contact with the autologous tumour cells. One CTL clone, termed A2 with a monoclonal feature was selected for further...
