Patient-individualized CD8+cytolytic T-cell therapy effectively combats minimal residual leukemia in immunodeficient mice
2015
Adoptive transfer of donor-derived cytolytic T-lymphocytes (CTL) has evolved as a promising strategy to improve graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effects in allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. However, durable clinical responses are often hampered by limited capability of transferred T cells to establish effective and sustained antitumor immunity in vivo. We therefore analyzed GvL responses of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-reactive CD8(+) CTL with central and effector memory phenotype in a new allogeneic donor-patient specific humanized mouse model. CTL lines and clones obtained upon stimulation of naive CD45RA(+) donor CD8(+) T cells with either single HLA antigen-mismatched or HL…
Functional Analyses of Human T Cell Extravasation in a Humanized NOD/SCID/IL2Rγcnull Transplantation Model.

Abstract Abstract 2448 Poster Board II-425 Donor lymphocyte graft engineering to avoid graft-versus-host (GVH) reactivity while improving graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) immunity remains of central interest in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, appropriate models to evaluate experimental concepts of donor lymphocyte allograft engineering in vivo are missing. We, therefore, established a human-murine chimeric transplantation model using immunodeficient NOD/SCID/IL2Rγcnull (NSG) mice to evaluate GVH reactivity of human T cell grafts in vivo. Moreover, since mechanisms of immune functions resembling human GVH immunity have not yet been addressed in detail in these …
