Overview
In the past decade, the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive cell transfer (ACT)-based therapies has revolutionized cancer treatment. The success, however, is limited to a relatively small subset of patients and cancer types. Successful anti-tumor immune responses following checkpoint blockade immunotherapy are believed to require re-activation and clonal expansion of tumor-specific antigen (TSA)-reactive T cells. The unpredictability of a patient's response to immunotherapy is partially attributed to the heterogeneity of the tumor immune microenvironment and phenotypic profiles of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) within individual tumors. To accelerate the pace of cancer immunotherapy, a computation-free method that enables quick TSA-reactive T cell discovery and easy adaptability would be a welcome advance.
Brief Introduction of FucoID
FucoID is an identification method for antigen-specific T cells. The principle of this strategy is based on the fucosyl-biotinylation interaction. FucoID has simple procedures and a quick turnover cycle, by which isolation of endogenous TSA-reactive T cells from tumor digests will not need previous knowledge of the TSA identities. Tumor-lysate primed dendritic cells (DCs) are equipped with an especial enzyme and play roles in presenting TSAs. The enzyme equipped by these DCs is capable of inducing proximity-based transfer of fucosylated biotin (Fuc-Bio) tags to the surface of T cells that interact with the DCs.

Advantages of FucoID
FucoID is a novel strategy for the characterization and manipulation of the entire repertoire of endogenous, TSA-reactive TILs. Especially, FucoID is appropriate for many murine tumor models. In addition, FucoID is a glycosyltransferase-mediated tagging approach, thus it does not rely on genetic manipulations. This feature makes it easily applicable to probe primary cell interactions. In summary, FucoID has a high potential to be translated to a clinical setting for the detection and isolation of TSA-reactive TILs from human patients.
