C-type virus-associated antigens and their relevance to human leukemia control
Abstract
This review describes oncogenic C-type virus and virus-associated antigens as phenotypic expressions of virus activities in malignant cells and cell surface antigens acquired by malignant transformation. The range of host-immune responses to these antigens in experimental systems is discussed in relation to the immunotherapy and immunoprophylaxis of human cancer patients.
