Abstract excerpt
Marked heterogeneity for susceptibility to lysis by autologous CTL clones and allogeneic IL-2-activated CD3- and CD3+ lymphocytes was found among 19 clones isolated from a human metastatic melanoma (Me665/2). A subset of 5 clones with the highest susceptibility to lysis had increased ICAM-1 antigen expression. Phenotype analysis for the presence of extracellular matrix receptors in the beta 1- and beta 3-integrin...
