Cancer Gene Therapy
Researchers from Mie University publish findings in cancer gene therapy
June 2nd, 2009
Scientists discuss in 'Rapid alphabeta TCR-mediated responses in gammadelta T cells transduced with cancer-specific TCR genes' new findings in cancer gene therapy. According to recent research from Mie, Japan, "Adoptive T-cell transfer of in vitro cultured T cells derived from cancer patients with naturally developed immune responses has met with some success as an immunotherapeutic approach, although only a limited number of patients showed spontaneous immune responses. To find alternative ways, such as cancer-specific T-cell receptor (TCR) gene transfer, in preparation for sufficient numbers of antigen-specific T cells is an important issue in the field of adoptive T-cell...
