| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Adoptive transfer of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) is highly promising against cancer and chronic infection, however in conventional protocol of CTL preparation, cell exhaustion is inevitable and critically hampers production of sufficient number of CTLs. Thus we developed novel iPSC-technology-based system to regenerate CTLs in cost- and labor-effective manner and successfully produced CTLs, whose cytotoxic activity was equivalent to that of original cells.
