Abstract

Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) of in vitro expanded tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) for the treatment of patients with advanced stages of metastatic melanoma remains one of the most beneficial therapies eliciting long-lasting responses. Methods and protocols used to expand TIL have evolved over time, utilizing different culture devices and other tools, to streamline and maximize the end product in both numbers and quality. Summarized in this chapter are the latest protocols used in the TIL program at MDACC.
