Cytotoxicity was determined in 51Cr release assays against circulating or bone marrow blasts from 4 HLA-A2+ patients with AML, PBMCs from 4 HLA A2+ healthy controls and 4 patients with CML, and primary fibroblasts from 4 HLA-A2+ healthy controls. Fibroblasts were pretreated with IFN-γ to induce expression of HLA class 1 molecules and, in some experiments, were pulsed with 100 μM P1218 peptide for 1 hour before labeling with 51Cr. Results are the means of triplicate wells.
