gp100-Pulsed Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell

**Semantic type:** Cell|Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) harvested from host blood and stimulated in vitro with tumor-specific gp 100 antigen. 'Pulsing' PBL with gp100, a tumor associated antigen (TAA) commonly expressed by melanoma cells, may increase melanoma-reactive cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL) in the PBL cell population. Autologous gp100-pulsed PBL have been administered to melanoma patients in order to augment cytotoxic immune responses to melanoma. (NCI04)
