We have derived from lymphocytes infiltrating a human regressive melanoma lesion a series of T-cell receptor alpha/beta-dependent, HLA-B14-restricted cytotoxic T-lymphocyte clones reactive against the autologous tumor. Analysis of the T-cell receptor gene expression revealed that all the clones represented a unique cell expressing a V beta 13.1/J beta 1.1 gene segment. T-cell receptor transcripts expressed in the cloned cells were compared to those present in the uncultured tumor tissue. This analysis demonstrated that the specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte clones characterized in vitro was actually selected and amplified in vivo at the lesion site. These results provide strong evidence that effector T-cells have contributed to tumor regression.
