Abstract:
Objective To investigate the killing activity of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) stimulated by dendritic cells (DC) on gastric carcinoma cells in vitro. Since DC is the strongest antigen presenting cell (APC) which has been known, it can present antigens to T lymphocytes, including TIL, and can induce cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responded in vivo and vitro. Methods DC were isolated from the peripheral blood of patients with gastric carcinoma and stimulated by granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM CSF), interleukin 4 (IL 4) and tumor antigen. Then TIL were stimulated by DC and their killing activity on autogenous gastric carcinoma cells and SGC 7901 cells in vitro were observed. Results TIL stimulated by DC had very high killing activity on autogenous gastric carcinoma cells and the killing rate was (89.39?3.05)%, which was much higher than those of TIL not stimulated by DC and T lymphocytes stimulated by DC as well as T lymphocytes not stimulated by DC on autogenous gastric carcinoma cells. The killing rates of the last three ones were (54.37?1.50)%, (53.92?1.46)% and (3.55? 0.25) % respectively. However, their killing activity on SGC 7901 cells was lower. Conclusions The results indicate that DC from patients with gastric carcinoma can induce efficient and specific anti gastric carcinoma immune responses.
