Blood and Tissue Analysis in Surgery Branch NCI From Stored Samples


OBJECTIVES:

- Conduct laboratory studies on the function and structure of patients' cells, cell
products, or serum components in relation to the cellular immune response generated
against their cancer.

OUTLINE: Blood and/or tissue samples collected on NCI Surgery Branch protocols are analyzed
for function and/or structure of patients' cells, cell products, or serum components in
relation to the cellular immune response generated against their cancer. Samples may be
evaluated for antigen expression by tumor cells, antitumor reactivity of lymphocytes grown
from biopsies, immunological monitoring of cell function, DNA and RNA extraction for PCR
analysis of T cell receptor and vector copy number estimation, quantifying T-cell reactivity
by fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis using tetramer staining, cytokine release by
bulk peripheral blood lymphocytes (with or without peptide stimulation), and other
experimental studies, such as cytolysis.
