Once inside the TILs, the gene becomes fully functional...
...upcoming experiment, Rosenberg plans to inject ten terminally ill patients with TILs carrying the marker. Periodically, he will remove bits of tumor from the subjects and douse the samples in neomycin. If some cells survive the dosing, he will know the TILs have reached the tumor...
