Targeting of cancer neoantigens with donor-derived T cell receptor repertoires
Science, 352 (6291), 1337-41
PubMed 27198675

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.

High-throughput T-cell receptor sequencing across chronic liver diseases reveals distinct disease-associated repertoires
Hepatology, 63 (5), 1608-19
PubMed 26257205

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.
