Oncolytic attenuated measles virus encoding NY-ESO-1 induces HLA I and II presentation of this tumor antigen by melanoma and dendritic cells
Antitumor virotherapy stimulates the antitumor immune response during tumor cell lysis induced by oncolytic viruses (OVs). OV can be modified to express additional transgenes that enhance their therapeutic pot...

Open AccessPhase I/II clinical trial of adoptive cell transfer of sorted specific T cells for metastatic melanoma patients
Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) of tumor-specific T lymphocytes represents a relevant therapeutic strategy to treat metastatic melanoma patients. Ideal T-cells should combine tumor specificity and reactivity with...

Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes as adjuvant treatment in stage III melanoma patients with only one invaded lymph node after complete resection: results from a multicentre, randomized clinical phase III trial
Adoptive tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapy and interleukin-2 (IL-2) have been investigated in melanoma.

Merkel cell carcinoma and cellular cytotoxicity: sensitivity to cellular lysis and screening for potential target antigens suitable for antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity
The recent success of checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) confirms that MCC tumors can be immunogenic. However, no treatment directly targeting the tumor is available for use ...

Open AccessThoracic and cutaneous sarcoid-like reaction associated with anti-PD-1 therapy: longitudinal monitoring of PD-1 and PD-L1 expression after stop** treatment
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) target T cell inhibitory pathways that are responsible for cancer tolerance by down-modulating immune functions. ICI have revolutionized patients care with lung cancer. Never...

A fast and efficient HLA multimer-based sorting procedure that induces little apoptosis to isolate clinical grade human tumor specific T lymphocytes
HLA multimers are now widely used to stain and sort CD8 T lymphocytes specific for epitopes from viral or tumoral antigens presented in an HLA class I context. However, the transfer of this technology to a cli...

PBMC are as good a source of tumor-reactive T lymphocytes as TIL after selection by Melan-A/A2 multimer immunomagnetic sorting
Choosing a reliable source of tumor-specific T lymphocytes and an efficient method to isolate these cells still remains a critical issue in adoptive cellular therapy (ACT). In this study, we assessed the capac...

Article
Long-term follow-up of patients treated by adoptive transfer of melanoma tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as adjuvant therapy for stage III melanoma
The first analysis of our clinical trial on interest of using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) as adjuvant therapy for stage III (regional lymph nodes) melanoma was published in 2002 [5]. The aim of this pape...

Article
Infusion of Melan-A/Mart-1 specific tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes enhanced relapse-free survival of melanoma patients
Adoptive therapy of cancer has been mostly tested in advanced cancer patients using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Following discouraging results likely due to poor tumor-specificity of TIL and/or high ...

Randomized trial of adoptive transfer of melanoma tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as adjuvant therapy for stage III melanoma
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the interest of using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) as adjuvant therapy for stage III (regional lymph nodes) melanoma. After lymph node excision, patients witho...

Article
Therapeutic efficacy of melanoma-reactive TIL injected in stage III melanoma patients
Adoptive therapy for cancer using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) has mainly been investigated in cancer patients with advanced stage disease. The limited clinical success has not been encouraging, altho...

High-scale expansion of melanoma-reactive TIL by a polyclonal stimulus: predictability and relation with disease advancement
The rationale of treating melanoma patients by infusion with tumor-infiltrating leukocytes (TIL) is to perform an adoptive therapy through injection of tumor-specific T cells. Nonetheless, methods currently u...
