چکیده

The T-lymphocyte mediated killing of autologous carcinoma colon cells was investigated. There was no change in the incidence of activity with advanced disease, age, or nutritional status of the patient and no difference could be demonstrated in lymphocytes extracted from blood, draining lymph nodes, or the tumour itself. Nevertheless. T-lymphocyte activity did appear to be specific for the patients's own tumour, as it was rarely observed with allogeneic tumours. There was also no correlation with lymphocyte natural killer activity. The in vitro studies demonstrated patient specific T-lymphocyte activity in 23 of 47 patients with carcinoma of the colon, but the results do not correlate with clinical and pathological findings.

Identification by monoclonal antibody of the tumor antigen of a human autologous breast cancer cell that is involved in cytotoxicity by a cytotoxic T-cell clone.

We have already established a pair of human autologous clones, tumor-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte clone TcHMC-1 and tumor target clone HMC-1-8, that were derived from the metastatic pleural effusion of a patient with mammary carcinoma. In this paper, we describe the target antigen that was defined by monoclonal antibody 3A2. This monoclonal antibody selectively inhibited the cytotoxic action...

Lysis of tumor biopsy cells by autologous T lymphocytes activated in mixed cultures and propagated with T cell growth factor

Blood lymphocytes from tumor patients were cocultivated with allogeneic lymphocytes (MLC) or autologous tumor cells (ATS), and their cytotoxicity was characterized. The main objective of the study was the lysis of autologous tumor biopsy cells by such effectors. Lymphocytes of patients activated in MLC lysed allogeneic third-party cells and in some cases also lysed autologous tumor cells. Allog...
