Adoptive immunotherapy of prostate cancer bone lesions using redirected effector lymphocytes.
Prostate cancer is currently the most commonly diagnosed noncutaneous malignancy in American men. When metastatic, usually to the bone, the disease is no longer curable and is usually treated palliatively with androgen ablation. However, after conversion to androgen-independent disease, there is no effective therapy currently available. The "T body" approach, which uses genetically reprogrammed...
متن کاملImmuno-gene therapy of established prostate tumors using chimeric receptor-redirected human lymphocytes.
Targeted adoptive immunotherapy is an attractive option for prostate cancer given its accessible primary location, the presence of specific tissue and tumor antigens, and the acceptability of collateral destruction of healthy prostrate tissue. The "T-body" approach, which uses genetically programmed, patient-derived lymphocytes transfected with chimeric receptor genes, combines the effector fun...
متن کاملSuicide Gene Therapy to Increase the Safety of Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Redirected T Lymphocytes
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are generated by fusing the antigen-binding motif of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) with the signal transduction machinery of the T-cell receptor (TCR). The genetic modification of T lymphocytes with chimeric receptors specific for tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) allows for the redirection towards tumor cells. Clinical experience with CAR-redirected T cells sugge...
متن کاملCancer gene therapy--fantasy or foresight?
Gene therapy is an exciting new method of treatment that may have far-reaching implications on the way we manage diseases in the future. Cancer has become the principal focus of this futuristic research. The breathtaking pace of gene discovery in the last two decades, coupled with the birth of recombinant DNA technology, gave rise to the concept that genes may be manipulated and used as drugs. ...
متن کاملB lymphocytes as effector cells in the immunotherapy of cancer.
Over the years, the role of B cells in the host immune response to malignancy has been overshadowed by our focus on T cells. Nevertheless, B cells play important roles as antigen-presenting cells and in the production of antibodies. Furthermore, B cells can function as effector cells that mediate tumor destruction on their own. This review will highlight the various functions of B cells that ar...
