Article Title: Allogeneic tumor antigen-specific T cells for broadly applicable adoptive cell therapy of cancer
Abstract: T cells specific for major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-presented tumor antigens are capable of inducing durable remissions when adoptively transferred to patients with refractory cancers presenting such antigens. When such T cells are derived from healthy donors, they can be banked for off-the-shelf administration in appropriately tissue matched patients. Therefore, tumor antigen-specific, donor-derived T cells are expected to be a mainstay in the cancer immunotherapy armamentarium. In this chapter, we analyze clinical evidence that tumor antigen-specific donor-derived T cells can induce tumor regressions when administered to appropriately matched patients whose tumors are refractory to standard therapy. We also delineate the landscape of MHC-presented and unconventional tumor antigens recognized by T cells in healthy individuals that have been targeted for adoptive T cell therapy, as well as emerging antigens for which mounting evidence suggests their utility as targets for adoptive T cell therapy. We discuss the growing technological advancements that have facilitated sequence identification of such antigens and their cognate T cells, and applicability of such technologies in the pre-clinical and clinical settings. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
