  • Generation of use of tc1 and tc2 cells
    Publication number: 20040258661
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a population of CD8+ Tc1 and/or Tc2 lymphocytes ex vivo. The method includes stimulating a population of T cells obtained from a subject by contacting the population with an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody and an antibody that specifically binds to a T cell costimulatory molecule in the presence of a Tc1 or Tc2 supportive environment to form a stimulated population of T cells. The stimulated population of CD8+ T cells is allowed to proliferate in a Tc1 or Tc2 supportive environment. Purified populations of Tc1 and Tc2 cells are disclosed herein, as are methods for their use.
