a

“Dx” stands for “diagnosis”; MM indicates metastatic melanoma; RCC indicates renal cell carcinoma.

b

“LN” indicated lymph nodes; “SQ” indicates sub-cutaneous; “Panc.” indicates pancreas.

c

“DC vaccine” indicates dendritic cell vaccine; “DTIC” indicates Dacarbazine

d

% NK cells in the infused cell population was determined by FACS as the % PI- CD3- CD56+ cells.

e

Specific lysis of 888 melanoma cells by the adoptively transferred cell population was measured using a 4-hour 51Cr release assays, and the value presented indicates the % specific lysis at a E:T ratio of 10:1.

f

Patients received the indicated number of doses of I.V. IL-2 (720,000 IU/dose). Some patients received a second cycle of IL-2 doses 20 to 27 days after the first treatment as indicated by the “+” sign.
