title: Immunovirology of transforming viruses.
abstract: The paradigmatic shift in cellular immunology, initiated by the realization that cytotoxic T lymphocytes recognize major histocompatibility complex class I antigens that carry endogenous (including virally encoded) protein-derived peptides in a special groove, has made a strong impact on the immunopathology of virus-associated tumors.
