METHOD OF PREPARING AND EXPANDING A POPULATION OF IMMUNE CELLS FOR CANCER THERAPY, POTENCY ASSAY FOR TUMOR RECOGNITION, BIOLOGICAL VACCINE PREPARATION AND EPITOPE TARGET FOR ANTIBODIES

The present invention relates to a method of preparing and expanding a population of immune cells, a potency assay for tumor recognition, a biological vaccine preparation to provide anti-tumor response or an antiviral response for cancer therapy and epitopes targets for antibodies which are useful for the construction of chimeric antigen receptors. The present invention is based on the fact that private or commonly shared tumor-associated antigens or private target antigens can be recognized by clinically relevant immune cells. Such target antigens could be used to prepare a biological vaccine preparation to provide anti-tumor response or an antiviral response by expanding a certain set of T-cells or B-cells and boosting the immune response in cancer therapy. The present invention guides the selection of viable target antigens in designing an anti-tumor vaccine to remove potentially harmful autoimmune responses or pro- tumorigenic immune responses and aids to select the biologically and clinically most relevant set of immune cells specifically directed against cancer cells harvested from tumor infiltrating lymphocytes or from different anatomical sites for the active cellular therapy of patients with cancer..
