594 Rapid Construction of Antitumor T-cell ReceptorVectors from Frozen Tumors for EngineeredT-cell TherapyTakemasa Tsuji, Akira Yoneda, Junko Matsuzaki,Anthony Miliotto, Courtney Ryan, Richard C. Koya, andKunle OdunsiTumor-specific TCRa and b chain pairs were efficiently identifiedfrom a retroviral library of randomly paired TCRs recoveredfrom frozen tumor biopsies and selected by tetramers. TherapeuticT cells expressing these TCRs had potent antitumor activity.

605 Improving CART-Cell Therapy of Solid Tumorswith Oncolytic Virus–Driven Production of aBispecific T-cell EngagerAnna Wing, Carlos Alberto Fajardo, Avery D. Posey Jr,Carolyn Shaw, Tong Da, Regina M. Young,Ramon Alemany, Carl H. June, and Sonia GuedanThe efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy wasimproved by oncolytic-adenovirus delivery of a bispecific T-cellengager to the tumor microenvironment. T-cell activation wasincreased and tumor resistance overcome as a result of its dualantigen specificity.

617 Sustained Persistence of IL2 Signaling Enhancesthe Antitumor Effect of Peptide Vaccinesthrough T-cell Expansion and Preventing PD-1InhibitionHussein Sultan, Takumi Kumai, Valentyna I. Fesenkova,Aaron E. Fan, Juan Wu, Hyun-II Cho, Hiroya Kobayashi,Yasuaki Harabuchi, and Esteban CelisIL2 signaling improves potency of peptide vaccines but at thecost of toxicity. Improving persistence of IL2 avoids toxicity andpromotes antitumor T cells by enhancing their expansion andpreventing PD-1 inhibition.

ABOUT THE COVER

Regulatory T cells contribute to theprotumor environment in cancer. Largenumbers in tumors, or a high regulatoryT:CD8þ T cell ratio, is associated with a poorprognosis. However, that relationship is notalways found in urinary bladder cancer.Winerdal et al. first established that theregulatory T cells in human bladder cancersare functionally suppressive like otherregulatory T cells. They then observed thatthese regulatory T cells suppressed tumorand macrophage production of MMP2, ametalloproteinase that aids metastasis.Thus, higher numbers of regulatory T cellscongregating at the invasive front of a tumorcorrelated with survival. Read more in thisissue on page 528. Original micrographfrom the Winqvist laboratory shows abladder tumor infiltrated and surroundedby brown T cells, some of which areregulatory.
