title: Human cancer vaccines.
abstract: Immune T cells recognize peptide antigens presented to them within self-MHC molecules. Thus auto-tumor reactive lymphocyte populations can be generated. Antigenic expression can be modified and intensified and reactive lymphocyte populations can be expanded. Active immunization of the tumor-bearing human host can induce immune reactions of tumor rejection strength. Frequently, micrometastases can be eliminated and occasionally partial or complete remissions of gross metastases can be induced.
