Lymphocytes were isolated from 43 surgical samples of breast cancer after tumor enzyme digestion and Ficoll/ Verographine procedure. In all, 23 specimens from lymphocytic-tissue infiltrates were analyzed (in some cases, material from 2 or 3 patients was combined). The ability of tumorinfiltrating ly

Mononuclear cell infiltration is frequently seen within human solid tumors. Effector cells within the tumor site usually fail to exhibit cytotoxic or natural killer activity when freshly isolated; however, they develop potent and sometimes specific cytotoxicity after expansion in ILL Thus, local tum
Cytokines and growth factors are powerful modulators of the immune response. Their aberrant expression either by the tumor cells or by the tumor infiltrating lymphocytes confers a selective advantage to the tumor to grow and suppress the cytotoxic activity of the infiltrating lymphocytes. Therefore,
