METHOD FOR GENERATING A POPULATION OF CELLS HAVING A HIGH SURFACE DENSITY OF A MHC MOLECULE-ASSOCIATED SPECIFIC EXOGENOUS PEPTIDE, AND CELL POPULATION

摘要

A method for generating a population of cells having a high surface density of an MHC molecule-associated specific exogenous peptide. A population of living non-tumour mammalian cells, particularly human peripheral blood lymphocyte splenic cells, ganglion cells, cord blood cells or placental cells, wherein said cells have a surface density of one MHC molecule-associated specific exogenous peptide with the same allele restriction as MHC molecules, whic h restriction is substantially higher than that of the corresponding cells that express said native MHC molecule-associated exogenous peptide.
