Abstract excerpt
The frequencies of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte precursors (CTLp) that lyse autologous tumor by a T-cell receptor (TCR)-dependent mechanism (specific CTLp) were evaluated by limiting dilution analysis (LDA) using lymphocytes from peripheral blood (PBL) and from surgically resected, tumor-invaded lymph nodes (LNL) in 9 melanoma patients. The frequency of specific CTLp was determined in PBLs and/or LNIs of all patients...
