T-cell Receptor Therapy Targeting Mutant Capicua Transcriptional Repressor in Experimental Gliomas
Abstract Purpose: Gliomas are intrinsic brain tumors with a high degree of constitutive and acquired resistance to standard therapeutic modalities such as radiotherapy and alkylating chemotherapy. Glioma subtypes are recognized by characteristic mutations. Some of these characteristic mutations have shown to generate immunogenic neoepitopes suitable for targeted immunotherapy. Experimental Design: Using peptide-based ELISpot assays, we screened for potential recurrent glioma neoepitopes in MHC-humanized mice. Following vaccination, droplet-based single-cell T-cell receptor (TCR) sequencing from established T-cell lines was applied for neoepitope-specific TCR discovery. Efficacy of intravent…
Guidelines for the use of flow cytometry and cell sorting in immunological studies
The marriage between immunology and cytometry is one of the most stable and productive in the recent history of science. A rapid search in PubMed shows that, as of July 2017, using “flow cytometry immunology” as a search term yields more than 68 000 articles, the first of which, interestingly, is not about lymphocytes. It might be stated that, after a short engagement, the exchange of the wedding rings between immunology and cytometry officially occurred when the idea to link fluorochromes to monoclonal antibodies came about. After this, recognizing different types of cells became relatively easy and feasible not only by using a simple fluorescence microscope, but also by a complex and some…
