Adoptive cancer immunotherapy using DNA-demethylated T helper cells as antigen-presenting cells
19 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract In cancer cells, cancer/testis (CT) antigens become epigenetically derepressed through DNA demethylation and constitute attractive targets for cancer immunotherapy. Here we report that activated CD4+ T helper cells treated with a DNA-demethylating agent express a broad repertoire of endogenous CT antigens and can be used as antigen-presenting cells to generate autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs)...
