Figure Lengend Snippet: Cytotoxic activity of TCR-Ts in vitro and in vivo. (A) IFN-γ ELISA assay and CD137 expression on TCR-Ts cocultured with LCL LMP2A . NC, untransduced T cells. (B) Cytolytic activity of TCR-Ts against corresponding LCL LMP2A at different E:T ratios. NC, untransduced T cells. (C) Schematic experimental plan. Each NOD/SCID mouse subcutaneously received 2×10 6 LCL LMP2A tumor cells on day 0. TCR-Ts or untransduced T cells (3×10 6 cells per mouse) were infused twice and IL-2 was administrated five times with a 2-day interval, followed by weekly tumor monitoring. (D) Antitumor activity of TCR-Ts against LCL LMP2A tumor cells in vivo. The tumor area is plotted on the y axis. Time after tumor cell injection is plotted on the x axis. The mean values from each group are plotted. Error bars represent the SEM (n=5 mice per group, *p<0.05, ***p<0.001, analyzed by one-way analysis of variance). NC, two intravenous injections of untransduced T cells and five intraperitoneal injection of IL-2 (1000 IU per mouse); TCR-T, two intravenous injections of TCR-Ts and five intraperitoneal injection of IL-2 (1000 IU per mouse). LCL, lymphoblastoid cell line; LMP2A, latent membrane protein-2A; NOD/SCID, non-obese diabetic severe combined immunodeficiency.
