The researchers also tracked the growth in culture of 215 individual tumor-reactive TILs that respond to IL-2, which is a key component of TIL cultures, and showed that this is indeed the case.

From Science Daily

Further examination of gene expression data collected from clinical trial samples revealed that TILs that responded poorly to IL-2 expressed relatively large numbers of receptors for PGE2 on their surfaces.

"By adding a drug that inhibits PGE2 production to the TIL culture medium we restored the ability of TILs to respond to IL-2 and improved the expansion of tumor-reactive TILs more than two-fold," said Grimm.

From Science Daily

The researchers show that, grown in the presence of PGE2 inhibitor, tumor-reactive TILs become responsive to IL-2 once again and show signs of renewed metabolic fitness and functional vitality.
