摘要

A likely immune response to a virus can be detected via the presence of TCR CDR3s that (a) exactly match CDR3s known to bind viral antigens or (b) represent chemical complementarity to viral antigens. Previous studies, based on genomics approaches to characterizing anti-CMV TCR CDR3s in patient blood samples, have indicated the possibility that a systemic CMV infection is associated with worse outcomes for NBL, as well as for breast cancer. Thus, the association of NBL tumor-resident anti-CMV TCR CDR3s and patient outcomes was evaluated here, with results indicating that high levels of chemical complementarity between tumor-resident TCR CDR3s and CMV antigens represented a better outcome. This is in apparent contrast to results obtained via the previous study of blood sourced, anti-CMV TCR CDR3s representing a worse outcome. This study identified gene expression values associated with the tumor-specific anti-CMV TCR CDR3s, representing exact matches to known anti-CMV TCR CDR3s, which may assist in identifying a potential underlying mechanism effecting the better outcomes associated with the tumor-resident, anti-CMV TCR CDR3s. Overall, results here raise the question of whether an anti-CMV response directly against the tumor, or within the tumor microenvironment, is involved in reductions in tumor progression or responsiveness to treatment?
