Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A molecular dynamics simulation of a 0.28 molar aqueous AlCl3 solution was performed with the flexible Bopp, Jancso, and Heinzinger (BJH) model for water and a newly developed three-body potential for Al3+-(H2O)(2) interactions derived from ab initio calculations. The simulations extended over 25 ps at an average temperature of 300 K. The structural properties of the solution are discussed on the basis of radial distribution functions and the orientation of the water molecules. Dynamical properties and OH frequency shifts were calculated from autocorrelation functions for the hydration shells of the ions.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose: During our efforts to develop tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy to counter the devastating recurrence rate in patients with primary resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), we found that PDA TILs can readily be expanded in vitro and that the majority of resulting TIL cultures show reactivity against the autologous tumor. However, the fraction of tumor-reactive T cells is low. We investigated to which extent this was related to the in vitro expansion. Experimental Design: We compared the clonal composition of TIL preparations before and after in vitro expansion using T-cell receptor (TCR) deep sequencing. Our findings for PDA were benchmarked to experiments with melanoma TILs. Results: We found that the TIL TCR repertoire changes dramatically during in vitro expansion, leading to loss of tumor-dominant T-cell clones and overgrowth by newly emerging T-cell clones that are barely detectable in the tumor. These changes are primarily driven by differences in the intrinsic in vitro expansion capacity of T-cell clones. Single-cell experiments showed an association between poor proliferative capacity and expression of markers related to antigen experience and dysfunction. Furthermore, we found that spatial heterogeneity of the TIL repertoire resulted in TCR repertoires that are greatly divergent between TIL cultures derived from distant tumor samples of the same patient. Conclusions: Culture-induced changes in clonal composition are likely to affect tumor reactivity of TIL preparations. TCR deep sequencing provides important insights into the factors that govern the outcome of in vitro TIL expansion and thereby a path toward optimization of the production of TIL preparations with high therapeutic efficacy.
