IMMU-50. SYSTEMIC ADOPTIVE TRANSFER IMMUNOTHERAPY WITH TCR-TRANSDUCED T-CELLS TARGETING NY-ESO-1 FOR MENINGIOMA

摘要

The lack of immunotherapeutic antigen targets selectively expressed on meningiomas have historically hindered its immunotherapy development. However, recent literature showed that in meningiomas, NY-ESO-1 is the most frequently expressed Cancer-Testis(CT)-antigen, which is a group of proteins silent in somatic cells but reactivated in cancers. NY-ESO-1 also has higher expression in higher-grade meningiomas. Decitabine is known to upregulate CT-antigens and augment immunotherapy. To evaluate systemic adoptive transfer for meningiomas, we tested the efficacy of NY-ESO-1 T-cell-receptor(TCR)-transduced T-cells in vitro and in vivo, and the role of decitabine in meningioma immunotherapy.
