Abstract

Immunotherapy utilizing the adoptive transfer of lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells in conjunction with recombinant interleukin 2 (RIL-2) is capable of reducing established metastatic cancer in a variety of animal tumor models. A major difficulty in the application of these efforts to the treatment of human cancer has been the activation in vitro of up to 2 X 10(11) human peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained by repeated leukaphereses. We have thus developed optimal and simplified techniques for the generation of human LAK cells for use in clinical trials. We have found that 1.5 X 10(9) lymphocytes separated on Ficoll-Hypaque gradients and incubated in 1000 ml of culture medium in a 2.3 liter roller bottle with 1000-1500 U of RIL-2 per ml, generated LAK cells capable of killing fresh human tumor cells in a 4 h chromium release assay. The culture medium used was RPMI 1640 with 2 mM glutamine, 2% heat-inactivated human AB serum, 50 micrograms/ml streptomycin and gentamicin and 50 U/ml penicillin. This technique allows activation of sufficient numbers of cells in a research laboratory setting to conduct human clinical trials. The administration of LAK cells generated in this fashion can mediate the regression of human tumors when administered in conjunction with IL-2.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
