level of the international
biodefense, veterinary public
health and the
medical research community into
cancer treatment and
prevention.
Today, his objective is to
establish Tumor Infiltrating
Lymphocyte
Therapy as a standard of
care in conjunction with
with advanced
diagnostics and treatment:
Tumor
Infiltrating Lymphocyte
Therapy:
A
specific type of cell transfer
immunotherapy, in which the
lymphocytes
infused back into the patient
are from the patients own tumor.
These
lymphocytes are actually
infiltrating and trying to
destroy the tumor
and
they are obtained when the tumor
is biopsied or excised. The
tumor
infiltrating
lymphocytes contain a large
concentration of cytotoxic T
lymphocytes
specifically
targeted against the antigens in
the patients own tumor as well
as
numbers
of natural killer lymphoctes
that can destroy tumor cells .
The
lymphocytes
are grown in a laboratory with
interleukin-2 to stimulate
growth of the
lymphocytes and then infused
back into the patient to attack
and
destroy
the tumor. -- Neoplastic

Leonard V. Crowley. In patients with
high grade
glioma, little is known
regarding existence of naturally
occurring
adaptive T cell reactivity
against glioma-associated
antigens (GAAs).
In this report, we characterized
GAA-specific CD8+ T
cells
and innate immune cells in a
patient who has survived with
anaplastic
astrocytoma (AA) for over 12
years without recurrence. --
