## Abstract Interferon (IFN) was detected upon co‐culture of cloned Sendai virus (SV)‐specific T lymphocyte with SV‐presenting syngeneic stimulator cells. The antiviral activity was defined as IFN‐α, β. The T cell clones, upon contact with antigen‐presenting stimulator cells, stimulated adherent ce

✦ Synopsis
Using mixed lymphocyte tumor-cell culture (MLTC) in a selected renal-cell carcinoma, we derived a tumor-specific T-cell line in which Vf3 14+ and Vp 19+ T cells represented 70% of the whole T-cell population. Selected Vpl9+ T cells were CD8+ and exhibited a HLA-restricted specific cytotoxicity against tumor cells. Independently, 2 CTL clones were obtained by direct cloning of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, VlllC2 CTL expressing a Vpl9 and VllBlO CTL a Vp13 T-cell-receptor transcript. VllB I0 lysed autologous tumor cells, normal kidney cells and EBV-transformed B cells. In contrast, VlllC2 lysed tumor cells exclusively, demonstrating that the antigen structure recognized is tumor-specific. In addition, we used a PCR-based method to search for the presence of these CTL in situ. TCR f% chain of VlllC2 and VllB 10 CTL were sequenced and primers complementary to their N regions were synthesized. VlllC2 CTL constituted up to 60% of Val9 transcripts in MLTC T-cell lines derived from tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, 23% in tumor and 26% in a tumor-draining lymph node, while VllBlO was not detected. Thus, VlllCZCTL was successfully derived from lymphocytes infiltrating a renal-cell carcinoma by direct cloning as well as by MLTC, probably because it was highly expanded in viva within the tumor composing almost 2% of the TIL.
