Split T cell tolerance against a self/tumor antigen: spontaneous CD4+ but not CD8+ T cell responses against p53 in cancer patients and healthy donors.

Analyses of NY-ESO-1-specific spontaneous immune responses in cancer patients revealed that antibody and both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses were induced together in cancer patients. To explore whether such integrated immune responses are also spontaneously induced for other tumor antigens, we h...
