8%–87%), and these responses were specific as they had little response to A375, a HLA-A*0201-positive melanoma cell that does not express gp100 or MART-1 and served as a negative control for antigen-specific killing (Table 1; 2.7% and 3%).
Thus, a highly sensitive immunomarker such as S-100 is less effective for interpretation of sentinel lymph nodes for melanoma micrometastases (especially when present as single cells) than MART-1 and Melan-A [ 6 ] . Certain morphological features help to differentiate melanoma cells and other non-melanoma cells such as S100 immunoreactive dendritic cells in sentinel lymph nodes.
As previously reported, MART-1 and Melan-A demonstrated predominantly cytoplasmic staining of melanoma cells [ 6 ] . The monoclonal antibody (T311) to tyrosinase, has been reported to demonstrate high sensitivity and specificity for melanoma [ 13 ] . It has also demonstrated an immunostaining pattern in sentinel lymph nodes identical to MART-1 and Melan-A.
The cocktail was not compared with S-100 in this study, as its role in evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes of melanoma was already demonstrated to be unreliable even in comparison to MART-1 and Melan-A individually in the previous study [ 6 ] . We did not compare tyrosinase alone with the cocktail because the questionable contribution of such a study would not be offset by the additional cost involved.
The 'melanoma cocktail' did not show background staining of non-melanocytic cells in the sentinel lymph nodes (Figure 2and 3) and demonstrated immunostaining pattern identical to MART-1 and Melan-A reported previously [ 6 ] . 5% (9/188) slices from 21% (5/24) of the cases showed groups of cohesive spindle cells which were immunoreactive for the cocktail in the capsule of sentinel lymph nodes.
