Abstract excerpt
Although CD8+ killer T cells reacting against human autologous tumor cells have recently been studied in detail, little is known about the cytotoxic mechanism of CD4+ T cells against such tumor cells. In order to investigate this, we have established CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte TcOSC-20 lines. TcOSC-20 showed selective cytotoxic activity against autologous OSC-20 cells, derived from a cancer of the tongue, in an...
