Abstract

The melanoma-associated antigens Melan-A and NY-ESO-1 stimulate different T-cell responses in late-stage melanoma patients. Either CD4+ or CD8+ T-cell reactivity against NY-ESO-1 was associated with better prognosis, but for Melan-A, only CD8+ but not CD4+ T-cell responses were associated with longer survival.
