Abstract
A method has been developed to efficiently proliferate and culture a CTL specific to WT1 peptides under limiting dilution conditions. Utilizing this method, CTLs capable of recognizing both a state where a wildtype WT1 specific peptide is presented by HLA-A*24:02 and a state where a mutant WT1 specific peptide is presented by HLA-A*24:02 have been successfully obtained.
