NK and T cells team to tackle cancer

Tokyo, Japan) has patented a tumor antigen gene identified by screening a cDNA library derived from a gastric cancer cell line that can induce gastric cancer antigen specific cytotoxic T cell by means of hybridization and PCR utilizing an amino acid sequence of peptide fragment of a known gastric cancer antigen protein, introducing a selected cDNA clone into a cell of gastric cancer cell line that cannot induce gastric cancer antigen specific cytotoxic T cell so that the clone should be expressed in the cell, and selecting a transgenic cell that has acquired the ability to induce cytotoxic T cell.
