CTL = cytotoxic T cell; IL = interleukin; MHC = major histocompatibility complex; TCR = T-cell receptor; Th = T helper; Th1 = helper T cells with a type 1 cytokine profile; Th2 = helper T cells with a type 2 cytokine profile; TNF = tumor necrosis factor.

Data are shown for 1744 patients (the number in each treatment group is given in parentheses) from two large prospective clinical trials. Numbers at the top of the bars represent exact percentages.

Data are shown for 1744 patients (the number in each treatment group is given in parentheses) from two large prospective clinical trials. Numbers at the top of the bars represent exact percentages.
