Transcription
This assay can be employed to quantify T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity against two distinct peptide epitopes of tumor antigens simultaneously. The in vivo nature of this assay allows for cytotoxic function of T-cells to be measured within the intact

We describe here a flow cytometry-based in vivo killing assay that enables examination of immunodominance in cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses to a model tumor antigen. We provide examples of how this elegant assay may be employed for mechanistic studies and for drug efficacy testing.
