ABSTRACT: In our study, we have characterized the non-expanded and expanded tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from treatment-naive renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients (n=3), as well as the minimally cultured pre-REP TILs and rapidly expanded REP TILs with a clinical-grade TIL expansion protocol. We observed that the REP TILs encompassed an abundance of CD4positive T-cells, together with increased LAG-3 and low PD-1 expression in the CD4positive and CD8positive T-cells. In addition, we observed that the TIL expansion protocol expanded small CD4positive T-cell clonotypes in the tumor microenvironment (TME), and that the large, exhausted tumor T-cell clonotypes do not expand. We further identified RCC-associated TCR motifs that were validated in multiple TCRalpha-beta-seq and scRNAand TCRalpha-beta-seq datasets, as well as quantified the RCC-associated TCRs from the REP protocol. Overall, the T-cells carrying the RCC-associated TCRs remained high in the tumors and corresponding pre-REP TILs, but the frequency was reduced in the REP TILs. Furthermore, the overall anti-viral TCRs remained low throughout the REP protocol. Our results provide an in-depth understanding of the origin, immunophenotype, and specificity of the TCRs in RCC TILs.
