Abstract excerpt
We have isolated, from an individual patient with metastatic melanoma, a series of eight TIL clones capable of lysing autologous melanoma cell targets. Six of the eight clones expressed TCRAV2S1 and lysed targets expressing HLA-A2 and the Melan-A/MART-1 peptide: AAGIGILTV. Polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis showed that the Melan-A/MART-1-specific clones were...
