<p>It is intended to provide a convenient immunity monitoring system whereby T cell frequencies specific to a plural number of antigen peptides can be assayed by using a relatively small amount of blood. Peripheral monocytes are collected and frequently stimulated with an antigen without directly using any antigen presenting cells. Then T cells specific to the antigen in the thus stimulated peripheral monocytes are detected to thereby detect antigen-specific T cells. Thus, diseases such as cancer can be prevented or treated with the use of a peptide having such a function, in particular, cancer tumor-rejection antigen peptide.</p> |
