Patients with stage I-III melanoma were vaccinated with the modified HLA-A2–binding
gp100 209-2M-peptide after complete surgical resection of their primary lesion and sentinel
node biopsy. Cytoplasmic interferon-γ production by freshly thawed peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (direct ex vivo analysis) or by peripheral blood mononuclear cells
subjected to 1 cycle of in vitro sensitization with peptide, interleukin-2, and interleukin-15
was measured following restimulation with the modified and native gp100 peptides, and …
