Enhanced tumor outgrowth after peptide vaccination. Functional deletion of tumor-specific CTL induced by peptide vaccination can lead to the inability to reject tumors

CTL can play an important role in the defense against tumors. Protective CTL-mediated immunity can be established in animal tumor models after vaccination with synthetic peptides representing CTL epitopes. We now report that immunization with synthetic peptides can also lead to CTL tolerance associa...
