Inclusion Criteria:

- Histopathological documentation of melanoma concurrent with the diagnosis of
metastatic disease

- Expression of HLA-A2, B44, or A3 as determined by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research
Center (FHCRC) human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing lab

- Zubrod performance status of 0-1

- Bi-dimensionally measurable disease by palpation on clinical exam, or radiographic
imaging (X-ray, CT scan)

- Normal cardiac stress test within 182 days prior to enrollment is required of all
patients over 50 years old or those with an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG), any
history of cardiac disease, a family history of cardiac disease, hypercholesterolemia
or hypertension

- FOR LEUKAPHERESIS:

- Pulse > 45 or < 120

- Weight >= 45 kg

- White blood cell count (WBC) >= 3,000

- Temperature =< 38C (=< 100.4 F)

- Hematocrit (HCT) >= 30%

- Platelets >= 100,000

- FOR T CELL INFUSION: Patients must be willing and able to discontinue the use of all
anti-hypertensive medications 24 hours prior to and during IL-2 therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

- Pregnant women, nursing mothers, men or women of reproductive ability who are
unwilling to use effective contraception or abstinence; women of childbearing
potential must have a negative pregnancy test within two weeks prior to entry

- Serum creatinine > 1.6 mg/dL or Creatinine clearance < 75 ml/min

- Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) > 150 IU or > 3x upper limit of normal

- Bilirubin > 1.6 mg/dL

- Prothrombin time > 1.5 x control

- Clinically significant pulmonary dysfunction, as determined by medical history and
physical exam; patients so identified will undergo pulmonary functions testing and
those with forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) < 2.0 L or carbon monoxide
diffusing capacity (DLco) (corr for Hgb) < 75% will be excluded

- Significant cardiovascular abnormalities as defined by any one of the following:

- Congestive heart failure;

- Clinically significant hypotension;

- Symptoms of coronary artery disease;

- Presence of cardiac arrhythmias on electrocardiograph (EKG) requiring drug therapy;

- Ejection fraction < 50 % (echocardiogram or multi gated acquisition scan [MUGA])

- Symptomatic central nervous system metastases greater than 1 cm at the time of
therapy; patients with 1-2 asymptomatic, less than 1 cm brain/central nervous system
(CNS) metastases without significant edema may be considered for treatment; if
sub-centimeter CNS lesions are noted at study entry, than a repeat imaging will be
performed if more than 3 weeks have elapsed from the last scan; patients will not be
treated if CNS lesions are > 1 cm or if patient is symptomatic from brain metastasis

- Patients with active infections or oral temperature > 38.2 C within 72 hours of study
entry or systemic infection requiring chronic maintenance or suppressive therapy

- Chemotherapeutic agents (standard or experimental), radiation therapy, or other
immunosuppressive therapies less than 3 weeks prior to T cell therapy; (patients
with bulky disease may undergo cytoreductive chemotherapy but treatment will be
discontinued at least 3 weeks prior to T cell therapy)

- Clinically significant autoimmune disorders or conditions of immunosuppression;
patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV)-1 associated complex or known to HIV antibody seropositive or known to be
recently polymerase chain reaction (PCR)+ for hepatitis are not eligible for this
study; virology testing will be done within 6 months of T cell infusion; the severely
depressed immune system found in these infected patients and the possibility of
premature death would compromise study objectives

- FOR T CELL INFUSION: Patients with active infections or oral temperature > 38.2 C
within 72 hours of study entry or systemic infection requiring chronic maintenance or
suppressive therapy

- FOR T CELL INFUSION: Chemotherapeutic agents (standard or experimental), radiation
therapy, or other immunosuppressive therapies less than 3 weeks prior to T cell
therapy

- FOR T CELL INFUSION: Current treatment with steroids

- FOR T CELL INFUSION: Patients must not be receiving any other experimental drugs
within 3 weeks of the initiation of the protocol and must have recovered from all
side effects of such therapy
