    Abstract Adoptive cellular therapy (ACT) is a form of cancer immunotherapy in which lymphocytes are removed from patient blood or tumor samples, expanded and/or genetically modified to improve tumor-fighting capabilities, and infused back into the patient. The main forms of ACT include tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), engineered T cell receptor (TCR) T cells, and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. While ACT has had success in hematological malignancies, particularly in B cell lymphomas targeted with CAR T cells, these favorable outcomes have yet to be replicated in solid tumors. Appropriate solid tumor target antigens are difficult to identify for ACT. Trafficking to tumor sites and infiltrating solid tumor burdens remains a problem for ACT cells. Persistence of ACT cells, which is important in creating a durable response, is also a major challenge, partly attributed to the formidable microtumor environment conditions. The costly and time-intensive manufacturing process for ACT is also an obstacle to widespread adoption. In this review, we discuss the challenges of ACT therapy in the treatment of solid tumors and explore the ongoing efforts to improve this immunotherapy approach in non-hematological malignancies.

    Abstract We present a case report of a 63-year-old female health care worker who is 15 years status post double lung transplant and six years status post living related donor kidney transplant who is healthy on a chronic immunosuppression regimen including prednisone, mycophenolate, and tacrolimus who received the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2) primary series and had poor initial humoral response to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, then demonstrated a robust, sustained immune response against S1 and S2 antigens for over seven months after receiving the recommended vaccine doses, including booster dose, without developing COVID-19 or other serious adverse events. Her immune response to vaccination indicates effective formation of anti-spike T cell memory despite chronic immunosuppression. This case report provides a comprehensive characterization of her immune response to this SARS-CoV-2 vaccination series. As vaccine effectiveness data is updated, and as better understanding of immune response including hybrid immunity emerges, these findings may reassure that recipients of SOTs may be capable of durable immune responses to emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract Rapid restoration of virus-specific T immunity via adoptive transfer of ex vivo generated T cells has been proven as a powerful therapy for patients with advanced cancers and refractory viral infections such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). BK virus (BKV), John Cunningham virus (JCV), and Merkel cell carcinoma virus (MCV) are the members of the rapidly growing human polyomavirus (hPyV) family that commonly infects most healthy humans. These viruses have a clearly established potential for causing severe end-organ damage or malignant transformation, especially in individuals with weakened immunity who are unable to mount or regain endogenous T-cell responses as a result of underlying leukemia or iatrogenic immunosuppression in autoimmunity, bone marrow and solid organ transplant settings. Here we will discuss recent advances in using T-cell-based immunotherapies to save patients suffering from PyV-associated diseases including hemorrhagic cystitis, BKV virus-associated nephropathy, and JC-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). We will also review progress in the understanding of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) as a virally driven tumor that is amenable to immune intervention and can be targeted with adoptively transferred T cells specific for viral oncoproteins.

    Abstract Abstract Identification of cognate interactions between antigen-specific T cells and dendritic cells (DCs) is essential to understanding immunity and tolerance, and for developing therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases. Conventional techniques for selecting antigen-specific T cells are time-consuming and limited to pre-defined antigenic peptide sequences. Here, we demonstrate the ability to use deep learning to rapidly classify videos of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. The trained model distinguishes distinct interaction dynamics (in motility and morphology) between cognate and non-cognate T cells and DCs over 20 to 80 min. The model classified high affinity antigen-specific CD8+ T cells from OT-I mice with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.91, and generalized well to other types of high and low affinity CD8+ T cells. The classification accuracy achieved by the model was consistently higher than simple image analysis techniques, and conventional metrics used to differentiate between cognate and non-cognate T cells, such as speed. Also, we demonstrated that experimental addition of anti-CD40 antibodies improved model prediction. Overall, this method demonstrates the potential of video-based deep learning to rapidly classify cognate T cell-DC interactions, which may also be potentially integrated into high-throughput methods for selecting antigen-specific T cells in the future.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Latent viruses such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and adenovirus (ADV) often reactivate in immunocompromised patients, contributing to poor clinical outcomes. A rapid reconstitution of antiviral responses via adoptive transfer of virus-specific T cells (VSTs) can prevent or eradicate even refractory infections. Here, we evaluate this strategy and the associated methodological, manufacturing and clinical advances.
    Recent findings: From the early pioneering but cumbersome efforts to isolate CMV-specific T cell clones, new approaches and techniques have been developed to provide quicker, safer and broader-aimed ex-vivo antigen-specific cells. New manufacturing strategies, such as the use of G-Rex flasks or 'priming' with a library of overlapping viral peptides, allow for culturing greater numbers of cells that could be patient-specific or stored in cell banks for off-the-shelf applications. Rapid isolation of T cells using major histocompatibility complex tetramer or cytokine capture approaches, or genetic reprogramming of cells to target viral antigens can accelerate the generation of potent cellular products.
    Summary: Advances in the ex-vivo generation of VSTs in academic medical centres and as off-the-shelf blood bank-based or commercially produced reagents are likely to result in broader accessibility and possible manufacturing cost reduction of these cell products, and will open new therapeutic prospects for vulnerable and critically ill immunocompromised patients.

    Abstract T cell immunity plays a central role in clinical outcomes of Coronavirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Therefore, T cell-focused vaccination or cellular immunotherapy might provide enhanced protection for immunocompromised patients. Pre-existing T cell memory recognizing SARS-CoV2 antigens antedating COVID-19 infection or vaccination, may have developed as an imprint of prior infections with endemic non-SARS human coronaviruses (hCoVs) OC43, HKU1, 229E, NL63, pathogens of "common cold". In turn, SARS-CoV2-primed T cells may recognize emerging variants or other hCoV viruses and modulate the course of subsequent hCoV infections. Cross-immunity between hCoVs and SARS-CoV2 has not been well characterized. Here, we systematically investigated T cell responses against the immunodominant SARS-CoV2 spike, nucleocapsid and membrane proteins and corresponding antigens from α- and β-hCoVs among vaccinated, convalescent, and unexposed subjects. Broad T cell immunity against all tested SARS-CoV2 antigens emerged in COVID-19 survivors. In convalescent and in vaccinated individuals, SARS-CoV2 spike-specific T cells reliably recognized most SARS-CoV2 variants, however cross-reactivity against the
