Tetramer guided, cell sorter assisted production of clinical grade autologous NY-ESO-1 specific CD8(+) T cells.
[liposarcoma]
Adoptive
T
cell
therapy
represents
an
attractive
modality
for
the
treatment
of
patients
with
cancer
.
Peripheral
blood
mononuclear
cells
have
been
used
as
a
source
of
antigen
specific
T
cells
but
the
very
low
frequency
of
T
cells
recognizing
commonly
expressed
antigens
such
as
NY
-ESO-
1
limit
the
applicability
of
this
approach
to
other
solid
tumors
.
To
overcome
this
,
we
tested
a
strategy
combining
IL
-
21
modulation
during
in
vitro
stimulation
with
first
-
in
-class
use
of
tetramer-guided
cell
sorting
to
generate
NY
-ESO-
1
specific
cytotoxic
T
lymphocytes
(
CTL
)
.
CTL
generation
was
evaluated
in
6
patients
with
NY
-ESO-
1
positive
sarcomas
,
under
clinical
manufacturing
conditions
and
characterized
for
phenotypic
and
functional
properties
.
Following
in
vitro
stimulation
,
T
cells
stained
with
NY
-ESO-
1
tetramer
were
enriched
from
frequencies
as
low
as
0
.
4
%
to
>
90
%
after
single
pass
through
a
clinical
grade
sorter
.
NY
-ESO-
1
specific
T
cells
were
generated
from
all
6
patients
.
The
final
products
expanded
on
average
1200
-
fold
to
a
total
of
36
billion
cells
,
were
oligoclonal
and
contained
67
-
97
%
CD
8
(
+
)
,
tetramer
(
+
)
T
cells
with
a
memory
phenotype
that
recognized
endogenous
NY
-ESO-
1
.
This
study
represents
the
first
series
using
tetramer-guided
cell
sorting
to
generate
T
cells
for
adoptive
therapy
.
This
approach
,
when
used
to
target
more
broadly
expressed
tumor
antigens
such
as
WT-
1
and
additional
Cancer
-
Testis
antigens
will
enhance
the
scope
and
feasibility
of
adoptive
T
cell
therapy
.
