Optimization Manufacture of Virus- and Tumor-Specific T Cells
Although ex vivo expanded T cells are currently widely used in pre-clinical and clinical trials, the complexity of manufacture remains a major impediment for broader application. In this review we discuss current protocols for the ex vivo expansion of virus- and tumor-specific T cells and describe our experience in manufacture optimization using a gas-permeable static culture flask (G-Rex). Thi...
متن کاملAnti-viral immunity: Spotting virus-specific T cells
Historically, quantitation of virus-specific CD8+ T cells has been accomplished by limiting dilution analysis of cytotoxic precursor cells. Recent studies have shown that this technique greatly underestimates the actual number of antigen-specific cells and have provided new insight into anti-viral immune responses.
متن کاملOX40 drives protective vaccinia virus-specific CD8 T cells.
Vaccinia virus (VACV) affords long-lasting protection against variola virus, the agent of smallpox. VACV-reactive CD8 T cells contribute to protection but their molecular control is unknown. We show that the TNFR molecule OX40 (CD134) controls primary VACV-specific CD8 T cell expansion and antiviral cytokine production and dictates development of strong memory to both dominant and subdominant V...
متن کاملA protective role for dengue virus-specific CD8+ T cells.
Infection with one of the four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV1-4) can result in a range of clinical manifestations in humans, from dengue fever to the more serious dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome. Although T cells have been implicated in the immunopathogenesis of secondary infections with heterologous DENV serotypes, the role of T cells in protection against DENV is unknown. In ...
متن کاملEosinophils bind rhinovirus and activate virus-specific T cells.
Episodes of virus-induced exacerbations of asthma are accompanied by increased eosinophils (EOS) in respiratory secretions and evidence of EOS degranulation. Although rhinoviruses (RV) are the viruses most often implicated in exacerbations of asthma in both children and adults, little is known about the immune response to this group of viruses and, in particular, EOS-RV interactions. To define ...
