Elicitation of anti-leukemia cytotoxic responses

Abstract

We have presented the rationale for the in vitro approaches that we have taken for generating cytotoxic lymphocytes capable of lysing autologous leukemia cells or leukemia cells from HLA identical siblings. Two different approaches have been used, both of which are based on earlier findings concerning the antigenic and cellular interactions involved in the generation of strong cytotoxic responses to alloantigens in mixed leukocyte culture.
