Retroviral Transduction of Human Primary T Cells Followed by Real-Time T-Cell-Mediated Cancer Cell Cytolysis Analysis

Methods Mol Biol. 2024:2748:29-39. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3593-3_3.

Abstract

Retroviral transduction is a highly useful tool to genetically engineer hard-to-transfect human primary cells. Here, we transduce human primary T cells with a tumor-specific T cell receptor. This creates a useful tool to analyze T cell-cancer cell interactions, such as cytolysis analysis using xCELLigence technology.

Keywords: Cytolysis; Retrovirus; T cells; Transduction; xCELLigence.
