(1)細胞試料
5人の健常人ボランティア(HD1~HD5)ならびに6人のHLA-A*0201陽性固形癌患者(PT1~PT6)から末梢血試料を得た。健常人および癌患者のHLA-アレルは、HD1:0201/2402、HD2:0201/0206、HD3:0201/2602、HD4:0201/3303、HD5:0201/2402、PT1:0201/2402、PT2:0201/2402、PT3:0201/2402、PT4:0201/2402、PT5:0201/2402、PT6:0201/2402であった。得られた末梢血試料をFicoll-Hypaque(Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden)を用いる密度勾配遠心分離に供して末梢血単核細胞(PBMCs)を分離し、使用するまで-170℃にて冷凍した。
先ず、1試料あたり2x106個のPBMCsを、FACSバッファー(2%ウシ胎児血清含有PBS)中にて37℃で30分、PE抱合HLA-A*0201-WT1 126-134テトラマー(MBL, Tokyo, Japan)にて染色した。次いで、下記の5色の蛍光標識モノクローナル抗体にて、暗所かつ氷上で25分染色した:FITC-標識抗-CD4、CD14、CD16、CD19およびCD56、抗-CD3-PerCP、抗-CD8-APC-Cy7(BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA)、抗-CD45RA-APCおよび抗-CCR7-PE-Cy7(BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA)。染色された細胞をFACSバッファーにて2回洗浄した。FACSAria装置(BD Biosciences)を用いてソーティングを行い、FACSDivaソフトウェア(BD Biosciences)にてデータ解析を行って、CD4-CD14-CD16-CD19-CD56-細胞フラクション中の単一のHLA-A*0201-WT1126-134テトラマー+CD3+CD8+細胞を得て、WT1-Tet+細胞と定義した。
上記のごとく得られた単一WT1-Tet+細胞を反応ミックスを入れたPCRチューブに直接ソーティングし(反応体積20μl)、50℃で90分インキュベーションしてcDNA合成を行い、次いで、反応を停止させるために95℃で5分インキュベーションした。RT反応液組成を表1に示す。
上記手順により得た10μlの合成cDNA生成物を、40μlの反応ミックス中に添加し、1st PCR反応を行った。PCR手順は以下のとおりであった:プレ-PCR加熱工程を95℃で9分、次いで、95℃で45秒の変性工程、57℃で45秒のアニーリング工程および72℃で50秒の伸長工程からなるサイクルを40サイクル。1st PCR反応液組成を表2に示す。
Vb PCR-2ミックスは、S3ミックス、S4ミックスおよびS8ミックスを含んでいた。
Vb PCR-3ミックスは、S5ミックスおよびS6ミックスを含んでいた。
表中<>はその中から1つの塩基を選択することを意味する。例えば....<ct>....と標記した場合は、....c....および....t....の2種の配列があることを意味する。
3rd PCT生成物を2%アガロースゲル電気泳動にかけ、陽性反応を確認した。増幅されたTCR-β遺伝子フラグメントを、QIAquick PCR Purification kit(Qiagen, Valencia, CA)により精製した。対応するVbプライマーを用いて配列決定を行った。配列決定にはABI PRIAM BigDye Terminator v 3.1 Cycle Sequencing kit(Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA)を用い、ABI PRISM 3100 Genetic Analyzer(Applied Biosystems)にて分析を行った。IMGTヒトTCR遺伝子データベースのサイト
(http://imgt.cines.fr/IMGT_vquest/vquest?livret=0&Option=humanTcRfor)と比較することによりCDR3の配列データを分析した。
本発明において、HLA-A*0201の5人の健常人(HD1~HD5)および6人の癌患者(PT1~PT6)の末梢血単核球中の636種のTCRβ鎖遺伝子の塩基配列を決定し、それらがコードするアミノ酸配列も決定することができた。健常人(HD1~HD5)および癌患者(PT1~PT6)由来のWT1特異的CTLのVβ鎖遺伝子の配列、J領域の配列、D領域の配列、N領域の配列、CDR3ヌクレオチド配列およびCDR3アミノ酸配列を図1-1~図1-9に示す。各人のWT1特異的CTLのクロナリティーを図2-1~図2-13に示す。また、CDR3ヌクレオチド配列を配列番号:1~636に示し、CDR3アミノ酸配列を配列番号:757~1392に示した。
