Reprogramming of Tumor-reactive Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocytes to Human-induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.

Reprogramming of TIL into iPSC holds great promise for the future treatment of cancer due to their rejuvenated nature and the retention of tumor-specific TCRs. One limitation is the lack of selective and efficient methods for reprogramming tumor-specific T cells from polyclonal TIL. Here we addressed this limitation and present a method to efficiently reprogram TIL into iPSC colonies carrying diverse tumor antigen reactive TCR recombination.
