Abstract excerpt
Monitoring of CD8+ T-cell responses in cancer patients during peptide vaccination is essential to provide useful surrogate markers and to demonstrate vaccine efficacy. We have longitudinally followed CD8+ T-cell responses in 3 melanoma patients who were immunized with peptides derived from Melan-A/MART-1. Recombinant HLA-A2 tetramers loaded with the naturally presented Melan-A/MART-1 nonamer peptide (AAGIGILTV)...
