  • Patent number: 9499788
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cell line of lymphocytes comprising ?? T cells, composition and production method thereof, and medical use namely for the use in medicine, namely in cancer immunotherapy. The cell line comprise a sample of human peripheral blood V?1+ ?? T cells expressing functional natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCRs). These V?1+ NCR+ T lymphocytes can directly mediate killing of leukemia cell lines and chronic lymphocytic leukemia patient neoplastic cells. The present invention shows that human V?1+ NCR+ T cells can be differentiated and expanded from total ?? peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs), upon regular in vitro or ex vivo stimulation with ??TCR agonists and ?c-family cytokines. This subset surprisingly expresses NKp30, NKp44 and NKp46, and high levels of Granzyme B that associate with highly enhanced cytotoxicity against lymphoid leukemias.
    Type: Grant
