Cytotoxic T cells recognize tumor Ags and destroy cancer cells in vitro. Adoptive transfer studies with transgenic T cells specific for tumor Ags have demonstrated that CTL are effective only in mice with small tumor burdens and thus appear to have limited potential in cancer immunotherapy. Here we used transgenic mice that express the TCR specific for an unmutated tumor Ag P1A and multiple lineages of P1A-expressing tumors to address this critical issue. We found that local costimulation, either by expression of B7-1 on the tumor cells or by local administration of anti-CD28 mAb 37N, reinvigorated the function of CTL specific for the tumor Ag, as it substantially increased the efficacy of CTL therapy for mice with large tumor burdens. Our study suggests that CTL-based immunotherapy can be manipulated to deal with large tumors.
