AUGMENTATION OF T CELL EXPANSION FOR ADOPTIVE IMMUNOTHERAPY BY ALTERNATE GAMMA CHAIN CYTOKINES AND BY GEMCITABINE MEDIATED INHIBITION OF MYELOID DERIVED SUPPRESSOR CELLS

Successful treatment of cancer with adoptive immunotherapy (AIT) is dependent on the ability to produce large numbers of tumor-specific, functional T cells. The purpose of this thesis is to explore ways in which T cell expansion could be augmented. We have focused on exploring alternate gamma chain...
