Non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are often infiltrated by T lymphocytes. It is postulated that the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) reflects a local host immune response against autologous tumors. To identify the nature of NSCLC TIL, we have characterized the molecular structure o

We have studied the diversity of the expressed human T-cell receptor (TCR) beta-chain repertoire by analysis of mRNA from unstimulated peripheral blood T-cells. The anchored-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to isolate TCRB transcripts. Of 20 full or near full-length functional transcripts se
Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TlL) freshly obtained from human malignant melanomas as well as the same TIL grown in the presence of interleukin 2 (IL2) were studied for gene expression of the T-cell receptor (TCR) variable P regions (VP). To perform the TCR-VP analysis, total RNA was isolated fro
