Abstract excerpt
Murine systems have demonstrated improved anti-tumor efficacy when tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) are combined with interleukin-2 (IL-2). One goal of human adoptive immunotherapy is to identify and expand TIL with specific activity against autologous tumor. In this study we attempted to iso...
