Popis: To cast light on T cell-mediated specific immunity at the tumor site of colon cancer, we investigated whether interleukin-2 (IL-2)-activated tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) from colon cancer show histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-class I-restricted cytotoxicity against adenocarcinoma. IL 2-activated TIL from all four HLA-A24 patients examined lysed HLA-A2402 + adenocarcinomas, but not HLA-A2402 - tumors. Those of two of the four cases also lysed HLA-A2402 + squamous cell carcinomas. CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones recognizing HLA-A2402+ adenocarcinomas were established from one CTL line. This CTL line produced IFN-γ upon recognition of an HLA-A2402 - adenocarcinoma transfected with HLA-A2402 cDNA. These results suggest the presence of HLA-A2402-restricted CTL recognizing adenocarcinoma at the tumor site of colon cancer. Furthermore, HLA-A31-restricted CTL activity was found in IL-2-activated TIL from one of two HLA-A31 + patients, suggesting the existence of HLA-class I-restricted CTL involving an allele other than A24.
