Abstract

Wilms' tumor protein 1 (WT1) is a tumor-associated antigen overexpressed in various cancers. As a self-antigen, negative selection reduces the number of WT1-specific T cell receptors (TCRs). Here, we provide a protocol to generate WT1 <subscript>37-45</subscript> -specific TCRs using healthy human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. We describe the expansion of WT1-specific T cell clones by two consecutive in vitro stimulations with autologous WT1 <subscript>37-45</subscript> -pulsed dendritic cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes. We then detail the detection with human leukocyte antigen/WT1 <subscript>37-45</subscript> tetramers.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 The Authors.
