Selected Publications

Here you will find an overview of our research group's selected publications over several years.

  • Ali M, Foldvari Z, Giannakopoulou E, Böschen ML, Strønen E, Yang W, Toebes M, Schubert B, Kohlbacher O, Schumacher TN, Olweus J. Induction Of Neoantigen Reactive T Cells From Healthy Donors. Nature Protocols (2019) 14, 1926-1943.
    Here we provide a protocol for high-throughput discovery of neo-antigen reactive T cells and their targets for adoptive T cell therapy and vaccine design.
  • Strønen E, Toebes M, Kelderman S, van Buuren MM, Yang W, van Rooij N, Donia M, Böschen ML, Lund-Johansen F, Olweus J*, Schumacher TN*. Targeting of cancer neoantigens with donor-derived T cell receptor repertoires. Science (2016)  352 (6291), 1337-1341 *Shared senior and corresponding authors.
    doi: 10.1126/science.aaf2288
    We show that healthy donor T cells can recognize 5-fold more mutations than tumor-infiltrating T cells from the patient, and that donor T-cell receptors can mediate efficient and specific killing of patient tumor cells harboring the relevant mutations.

    doi: 10.1002/hep.28116
    We identify liver-infiltrating, disease-associated T cell clonotypes in two autoimmune liver diseases and in alcoholic liver disease, and evidence for antigen-driven clonal expansions.
  • Kolstad A, Kumari S, Walczak M, Madsbu U, Hagtvedt T, Bogsrud TV, Kvalheim G, Holte H, Aurlien E, Delabie J, Tierens A, Olweus J. Sequential intranodal immunotherapy induces antitumor immunity and correlated regression of disseminated follicular lymphoma. Blood 2015;125:82-89. Doi: 10.1182/blood-2014-07-592162.
    We demonstrate that the magnitude of anti-tumor CD8 T cell responses correlate with clinical responses to a novel immunotherapy
