T lymphocytes are crucial for antiviral responses and provide a promising repertoire for potential therapies of viral diseases such as cytomegalovirus(CMV)infection1 and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2.^(2) CMV-related diseases occur once the host immune system is impaired or lacks a protective repertoire of virus-specific T lymphocytes.3 Adoptive transfer of T-cell receptor(TCR)-engineered T cells(TCR-Ts)provides an encouraging alternative treatment option for patients with CMV reactivation.^(4) However,generating TCR-Ts requires the identification of epitope-specific and functional TCR *** single-cell sequencing techniques open up the ability to unravel TCR repertoires,^(5 )which offers a potential opportunity to screen functional TCR pairs for TCR-T ***,we report an efficient approach that combines ex vivo CD8+T-cell stimulation with single-cell RNA and TCR V(D)J sequencing to identify CMV-specific TCRs for generating TCR-Ts.

The preexistence of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment substantiates the efficacy of immunotherapy in cancer *** the complex intratumoral immune heterogeneity has been extensively studied in single cell resolution,hi-res spatial investigations are *** this study,we performed a spatial transcriptome analysis of 4 colorectal adenocarcinoma specimens and 2 paired distant normal specimens to identify the molecular pattern involved in a discontinuous inflammatory response in pathologically annotated cancer *** on the location of spatially varied gene expression,we unmasked the spatially-varied immune ecosystem and identified the locoregional“warmed-up”immune response in predefined“cold”tumor with substantial infiltration of immune ***“warmed-up”immune profile was found to be associated with the in-situ copy number variance and the tissue remodeling ***,“warmed-up”signature genes indicated improved overall survival in CRC patients obtained from TCGA database.
