1 7663570 Lymph nodes containing microscopic tumor and shed mucin exhibited approximately 40-fold expansion in short-term (< 21 days) cultures with either IL-2 or IL-1 plus IL-2; the combination of IL-2/anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) resulted in significantly higher expansion.
2 7663570 Cultures generated with IL-2 alone favored the expansion of CD8+ and CD56+ cells, whereas addition of IL-1 or anti-CD3 mAb to IL-2 promoted outgrowth of CD4+ T-cells.
3 7663570 However, CD4+ cells expanded in IL-2/anti-CD3 retained the ability to proliferate in response to TAG-72 mucin-expressing autologous tumor as well as bovine submaxillary mucin (BSM) a soluble TAG-72+ mucin.
4 7663570 In addition, CD4+ cells expressed mRNA for IL-2, IL-4, tumor necrosis factor-beta and IFNg, and retained the ability to secrete IL-2 after expansion.
