title: Effective adoptive therapy of tap-deficient lymphoma using diverse high avidity alloreactive T cells.
abstract: High avidity for antigen and diversity of T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire are essential for effective immunity against cancer. We have previously created a transgenic mouse strain with increased TCR avidity in a diverse T cell population. In this report, we show that strong alloreactive responses of transgenic T cells against targets with low MHC class I expression can be used for effective adoptive transfer of tumor immunity in vivo. Alloreactive transgenic T cells could be an effective therapeutic approach counteracting tumor evasion of the immune system.
