Abstract excerpt
Peptide specificity of cultured tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) was systematically investigated in a group of HLA-A2.1+ metastatic melanoma patients consecutively referred to our department for surgical treatment. Seven samples from 6 patients were studied. All surgical specimens showed evidence of gp 100, MART-1/Melan-A and Tyrosinase gene expression as detectable by reverse PCR (rPCR). Cultured TIL from 2...
