Adoptive Autologous “T cell” Therapies
ImmTACs (Immune mobilizing monoclonal TCRs against cancer)
Target: Surface protein ex: CD19 in NHL - Ab binding is higher affinity vs TCR - Only approx. 10% of targets are surface bound
DARTs (Dual-Affinity retargeting technology) BITEs (Bi-specific T cell engager)
Target: peptide-HLA - Affinity enhanced TCR ex: NY-ESO-1 in Myeloma - Recognizes endogenously processed Tumor Ag
- Greater number of targets available
TIL
Target: peptide-HLA - Biopsy or resection is required
Target: peptide-HLA - Affinity enhanced and fused to anti-CD3 - No cellular manufacturing
Target: Surface protein ex: CD19 in NHL
• T cell redirecting Rx • Can recruit several arms of the immune
system • Easier/faster to produce • Less costly
Aleksic, M., et al. (2012). Eur. J. Immunol
Increasing the affinity of Tumor-specific TCRs (NY-ESO-1)
• All T cells undergo Thymic selection (2040-50 TCR variants)
• This has evolved to remove autoreactive T cells from an individuals repertoire
• Therefore the circulating repertoire to self antigens (tumor antigens) are of low affinity
• MHC down regulation • Local immunosuppressive mechanisms
• Are NY-ESO-1 specific T cells Persisting? • What is the Phenotype of NY-ESO-1 specific T cells with respect to markers of Immune
Dysfunction, Memory and Maturation? • What is the functionality of NY-ESO-1 specific T cells? • What is the Phenotype and Function of the Manufactured product prior to infusion?

Protocols for Pentamer Staining combined with ICS
Protocol 1: Pentamer staining BEFORE stimulation
• Plate cells (1.5X106 cells per well) • Add pentamer and Incubate for 10 min at RT • Wash • Add stimulators and CD107a (or DMSO in unstimulated
samples) and Golgi Plug/Stop, and incubate for 6h at 37°C
• Wash • Add surface cocktail and incubate 30 min at 4°C • Wash • Fix • Permeabilize • Add intracellular cocktail and incubate 30 min at 4°C • Wash • Acquire data on flow cytometer
Protocol 2: Pentamer staining AFTER stimulation
• Plate cells (1.5X106 cells per well) • Add stimulators and CD107a (or DMSO in unstimulated
samples) and Golgi Plug/Stop, and incubate for 6h at 37°C
• Wash • Add pentamer and incubate for 10 min at RT • Wash • Add surface cocktail and incubate 30 min at 4°C • Wash • Fix • Permeabilize • Add intracellular cocktail and incubate 30 min at 4°C • Wash • Acquire data on flow cytometer
• We observed that the frequency of NY-ESO-1 TCR detected and backround levels observed by ICS varied depending on the protocol used
• Following TCR triggering, the complex gets downregulated • Pentamer staining triggers the TCR

Conclusion
• Flow cytometry is a unique technology that gathers phenotypic and functional data on single cells from heterogeneous mixtures such as blood and tissues.
• Relative distribution of phenotypic and functional subsets
• Predictive and/or correlative value with markers of clinical disease progression
• Several factors must be considered when developing a Flow Cytometry panel • Sample Matrix, Integrity and Stability
• Clone/Fluorophore Combinations
• Anticipated Antigen Expression Levels
• Signal Specificity (Isotype and FMO Controls)
• Defining optimal duration of stimulation and staining procedures
• Trending Control
