Journal ArticleDOI

Human primary and memory cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses are efficiently induced by means of CD40-activated B cells as antigen-presenting cells: potential for clinical application.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that CD40-B cells from healthy donors and cancer patients are fully functional and equally expanded in long-term cultures, and are an excellent source of professional APCs for immune assessment, antigen discovery, and antigen-specific immunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engagement of CD83 ligand induces prolonged expansion of CD8+ T cells and preferential enrichment for antigen specificity.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the engagement of the CD83 ligand (CD83L) preferentially enriches and significantly amplifies the number of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells and could be exploited to generate long-lived antigen- specific cytotoxic T cells for the treatment of cancer and infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Lived Antitumor CD8+ Lymphocytes for Adoptive Therapy Generated Using an Artificial Antigen-Presenting Cell

TL;DR: Clinical grade aAPC33, produced under current Good Manufacturing Practices guidelines, generated sufficient numbers of CTL within a short period of time, and these CTL specifically lysed a variety of melanoma tumor lines naturally expressing a target melanoma antigen.
