Utilizing T-cell activation signals 1, 2 and 3 for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) expansion: the advantage over the sole use of interleukin-2 in cutaneous and uveal melanoma

A novel TIL expansion method combining IL-2, anti-4-1BB, and OKT3 was developed. Using small G-Rex 10 devices allowed for successful expansion from fewer tumor fragments and reduced culture time compared to standard methods, especially for uveal melanoma.
