High-throughput identification of potential minor histocompatibility antigens by MHC tetramer-based screening: feasibility and limitations.

T-cell recognition of minor histocompatibility antigens (MiHA) plays an important role in the graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). However, the number of MiHA identified to date remains limited, making clinical application of MiHA reactive T-cell infusi...
