Abstract
T cell-based cancer immunotherapy relies on advancements made over the last 20 years on the molecular mechanisms underlying the antigenicity of tumors. This review focuses on human tumor antigens recognized by T lymphocytes, particularly the reasons why some are tumor-specific but others are not, and on the immunologic adjuvants used in clinical trials on therapeutic vaccination with defined tumor antigens.
