Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In some aspects, the invention relates to compositions comprising marrow infiltrating lymphocytes (“MILs”). The MILs may be activated MILs. In some aspects, the invention relates to methods for activating MILs, comprising incubating MILs in an environment comprising less than 21% oxygen. In some aspects, the invention relates to methods for treating cancer in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising activated MILs.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A composition comprising a population of ex vivo hypoxic-activated, normoxic expanded marrow infiltrating lymphocytes, wherein about 60% to about 100% of the population express CD3 and at least 21% of the population express 4-1BB. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein about 70% to about 100% of the population express CD3. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein about 75% to about 100% of the population express CD3. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein about 80% to about 100% of the population express CD3. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein about 85% to about 100% of the population express CD3. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein about 89% to about 100% of the population express CD3. 7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least 70% of the population express CD3. 8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least 75% of the population express CD3. 9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least 80% of the population express CD3. 10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least 85% of the population express CD3. 11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least 89% of the population express CD3. 12. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the population express CD4. 13. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the population express CD8. 14. The composition of claim 1 , wherein about 21% to about 100% of the population express 4-1BB. 15. The composition of claim 1 , wherein about 25% to about 100% of the population express 4-1BB. 16. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least 25% of the population express 4-1BB. 17. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least 30% of the population express 4-1BB. 18. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least 35% of the population express 4-1BB. 19. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the population is obtainable from a bone marrow sample obtained from a subject having cancer by: (a) culturing the bone marrow sample with an anti-CD3 antibody and an anti-CD28 antibody in a hypoxic environment of about 1% to about 3% oxygen to produce activated marrow infiltrating lymphocytes; and (b) culturing the activated marrow infiltrating lymphocytes in a normoxic environment in the presence of IL-2 to produce the composition.
