TECHNIQUE FOR CREATING ANTIGEN-SPECIFIC REGULATORY T CELLS (Treg) IN WHICH EFFECTOR T CELL (Teff) ANTIGEN RECEPTORS ARE USED

摘要

The present disclosure provides a technique for producing regulatory T cells specific to a desired antigen. Regulatory T cells specific to an antigen are produced by a method that includes: a step for identifying a T cell receptor (TCR) clone present in an effector T cell population specific to an antigen in an effector T cell donor; and a step for introducing all or part of the nucleic acid sequence of the TCRα gene and all or part of the nucleic acid sequence of the TCRβ gene included in the clone into a regulatory T cell, said step comprising introducing the TCRα and the TCRβ so as to be expressed in pairs.
