title: Enhanced proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in a plasma-derived cell culture fluid.
abstract: The proliferation and activation of murine and human T-lymphocytes in a high-protein lymphocyte culture fluid (LCF) is compared to that of cells cultured in 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) proliferate exponentially in the LCF for up to 46 days and generate cell numbers that are nearly 100,000-fold greater than cells cultured in FBS. This rapid growth of T cells in LCF could have an important impact in adoptive immunotherapy and gene therapy since cell growth is a limiting factor in these technologies.
