Abstract excerpt
Dominant rearrangements of T-cell receptor (TCR) beta-chain genes are reported among tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). After interleukin-2 expansion of TIL from renal and lung carcinoma and melanoma biopsy tissues, rearrangements of TCR beta-chain genes were analyzed by Southern blotting. Nongermline restriction fragments, indicating dominant rearrangements, were detected among the TIL from all 6 patients...
