CD8A and neoplasm: • A genetic approach involving two different methods: i) the transfection of cDNA libraries from tumour cells into target cells expressing the appropriate human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecule, and then screening transfected cells for stimulating CD8+ T-cell clones from cancer patients; ii) the microarray analyses facilitating the individuation of differential highly expressed genes in HN primary tumour samples [3].
