Culture of Melanoma Cells in 3-Dimensional Architectures Results in Impaired Immunorecognition by Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes Specific for Melan-A/MART-1 Tumor-Associated Antigen

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of the culture of melanoma cells in 3-dimensional (3D) architectures on their immunorecognition by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for tumor-associated antigens. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Growth in 3D architectures has been shown to promote the resistance of cancers to treatment with drugs, cytokines, or irradiation, thereby potentially playing an important role in tumor...
