    摘要: This invention relates to lymphotoxin- beta , a lymphocyte membrane type protein. This protein is found on the surface of a number of cells, including phorbol ester (PMA) stimulated T cell hybridoma II-23.D7 cells. This invention also relates to complexes formed between lymphotoxin- beta and other peptides such as lymphotoxin- alpha and to complexes comprising multiple subunits of lymphotoxin- beta . These proteins and complexes are useful in holding LT- alpha formed within the cell on the cell surface where the LT- alpha /LT- beta complex may act as an inflammation regulating agent, a tumor growth inhibiting agent, a T cell inhibiting agent, a T cell activating agent, an autoimmune disease regulating agent, or an HIV inhibiting agent. Furthermore, the antitumor activity of the LT- alpha /LT- beta complex may be delivered to tumor cells by tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) transfected with the gene for LT- beta .
