Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) play an important role in the host immune response to cancer. When these cells are reinfused into cancer patients after in vitro expansion with lymphokines such as interleukin 2 (rIL-2), they often induce regression of tumor metastases. We obtained TIL of enzymatic digestion of 7 human solid tumors and then cultured them with rIL-2 and interleukin 4 (IL-4) at different...
