Unique tumor antigens redefined as mutant tumor-specific antigens.

Abstract excerpt

The extraordinary specificity of immune responses mediated by T cells against individual syngeneic tumors has led to the concept that many tumor antigens are 'unique'. The recent isolation of several T-cell-recognized unique antigens from various murine and human tumors has shown that the antigenic peptides are caused by somatic mutations and, thus, are truly tumor-specific. The following review summarizes...
