Research Abstract |
The induction of tumor-associated antigens(TAAs)-specific CD4+ helper T cell(Th cell) and its maintenance are essential for ideal cancer immunotherapy. However, mechanism of memory T cell development remains unclear. In this study, we focused on heterogeneity of WT1(one of TAAs)-specific Th clone and identified two genes, which were specifically overexpressed in memory T cell or effector T cell. Since there is no report regarding function of these genes in T cell, we generated the identified genes-knockout/ knockin mice.
