However, it is difficult to evaluate the expression status of a peptide/HLA complex because of the lack of a soluble T©\cell receptor (TCR) that reacts with tumor©\associated antigen (TAA) with high avidity. In the present study, we developed two soluble TCR©\multimers that were each directed to TAA, survivin©\2B (SVN©\2B) and PBF in the context of HLA©\A24 (SVN©\2B TCR©\multimer and PBF TCR©\multimer, respectively), from CTL clones that were established from peptide©\vaccinated patients. Both TCR multimers could recognize cognate peptide©\pulsed antigen©\presenting cells, C1R©\A24 cells, in a CD8©\independent method. Moreover, the PBF TCR©\multimer successfully recognized a PBF peptide naturally presented on HLA©\A24+ PBF + osteosarcoma cells. Taken together, the results indicated that a TCR©\multimer might be useful for detection of a TAA©\derived peptide presented by HLA in patients receiving immunotherapy %K HLA©\A24 %K multimer %K PBF %K survivin %K T©\cell receptor %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6317924/
