Where this comes from

Abstract

It has been known for many years that cytolytic T lymphocytes that specifically recognize the tumor cells of the same patient can be derived from the blood of melanoma patients. Several of the antigens recognized by these antitumor T lymphocytes have now been completely identified. Some of them are sufficiently tumor-specific to envision their use as antitumor vaccines in selected cancer patients.
