Abstract
Lymphocytes isolated from the tumors and draining lymph nodes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients exhibit the following characteristics of immune activation: (1) stable E rosette formation, (2) natural attachment to various human cells, (3) sensitivity in vitro to the lytic effect of glucocorticoids. Although the NPC T cells attach in vitroto various cells they kill only EBV‐genome‐carrying targets. These findings suggest the occurrence of a local cellular immune response in NPC, possibly directed to EBV‐determined antigens.

## Abstract A major distinction is reported between the cytolytic activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and that of lymph‐node and tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) against targets of the NK‐sensitive K562 cell line in short‐term ^51^Cr release assays. In the PBL of normal donors and l
Lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells generated by culture of regional lymph node cells (LNC) with interleukin 2 (IL 2) for 4 and 11 days were examined for their functional capabilities in comparison with those of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM) in 25 patients with gastric carcinoma. The
