Abstract excerpt
Cytotoxic T cells have been implicated in the control of the progression of human melanoma. Most studies on human tumor T cell immunity have focused on the CD3+CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) phenotype; however, CD3+CD4+ CTL are important effector cells in other diseases and may also contribute to antimelanoma immunity. In this study we compared the functional activity of CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ CTL lines...
