Abstract excerpt
In this study, we analyzed T cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) freshly obtained from 15 patients with head and neck cancer using the reversely transcribed polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. These TILs showed preferential expression of V alpha...
