Abstract
Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are white blood cells that are actively recruited to the tumor site to mount an immune response against tumor growth and metastasis. The disclosure provides methods for treating cancer that comprise steps of isolating CD8+ T cells from a sample derived from a subject, expanding the CD8+ T cells in the presence of interleukin-10, and ad ministering the expanded CD8+ T cells to the subject. Methods of treating cancer may be used in combination with inhibitors of the complement signaling pathway.
