Obtention de lymphocytes T cytotoxiques spécifiques des cellules B tumorales. Les cellules B des lymphomes expriment une immunoglobuline dont les parties variables sont uniques, c'est-à-dire différentes de celles des autres immunoglobulines dans le répertoire B.

CONT

Antigènes de tumeur : [...] les TSTA qui sont des antigènes "TSA" susceptibles d'entraîner le rejet de la cellule qui les porte.

CONT

Antigènes de tumeurs induites par les virus oncogènes. [...] On distingue [...] les antigènes TSTA (Tumor Specific Transplantation Antigens), antigènes membranaires pouvant être à l'origine d'une IMC et donc d'un rejet (tout au moins en expérimentation animale). Ces antigènes cellulaires dépendent de la présence du virus, mais ne sont pas présents sur le virus lui-même [...]
