  • Publication number: 20180057793
    Abstract: Provided is a method for isolating and proliferating autologous cancer antigen-specific CD8+T cells, and more particularly, a method for selecting an epitope recognized by CD8+ T cells from autologous cancer antigens present in blood of individual cancer patients; and isolating autologous cancer antigen-specific CD8+ T cells by using a peptide of the selected epitope, and a method of massively proliferating CD8+ T cells by using the method. According to the present invention, it is possible to isolate autologous cancer antigen-specific CD8+ T cells by using the peptide of the CD8 T cell epitope of the autologous cancer antigen present in blood of individual cancer patients instead of a heterologous antigen. Therefore, by using T cells recognizing the autologous cancer antigen, it is possible to effectively select and eliminate cancer cells derived from the cancer patient's own cells. Thus, T cells can be applied to treatment and alleviation of cancer diseases without side effects.

    Abstract: Digital content rendering coordination techniques in augmented reality are described. In one example, a user is provided with a first display device via which an augmented reality environment is to be viewed that includes at least a partial view of a physical environment. As part of this physical environment, a second display device (e.g., a desktop monitor, a mobile phone, and so forth) is also viewable by a user through the first display device, i.e., is directly viewable. Techniques are described herein in which a view of digital content on the second display device is coordinated with a display of digital content on the first display device. This may be used to support a variety of usage scenarios to expand and share functionality associated with these different devices.
