In vivo expansion of genetically modified T cells in cancer patients following adoptive transfer has been linked to both anti-tumor activity and T cell-mediated toxicities. The development of digital PCR has improved the accuracy in quantifying the in vivo status of adoptively infused T cells compared to qPCR or flow cytometry. Here, we developed and evaluated the feasibility and performance of nanoplate-based digital PCR (ndPCR) to quantify adoptively infused T cells engineered with a T cell receptor (TCR) that recognizes a human endogenous retrovirus type E (HERV-E) antigen. Analysis of blood samples collected from patients with metastatic kidney cancer following the infusion of HERV-E TCR-transduced T cells established the limit of detection of ndPCR to be 0.3 transgene copies/μL of reaction. The lower limit of quantification for ndPCR was one engineered T cell per 10,000 PBMCs, which outperformed both qPCR and flow cytometry by 1 log. High inter-test and test-retest reliability was confirmed by analyzing blood samples collected from multiple patients. In conclusion, we demonstrated the feasibility of ndPCR for detecting and monitoring the fate of TCR-engineered T cells in adoptive cell therapy. |
