Abstract:T cell receptor (TCR) gene therapy can mediate tumor regression in patients; however, successful treatment of epithelial cancers has been limited. We studied the targeting of Kita-Kyushu lung cancer antigen 1 (KK-LC-1), a cancer germline antigen expressed in multiple epithelial cancers, with TCR gene-engineered T cells. We thoroughly vetted KK-LC-1 expression in both cancerous and healthy tissue by pulling data from BioGPS and cBioPortal and analyzing a broad range of patient samples, primary cancer lines, and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
