Ex vivo gene transfer for improved adoptive immunotherapy of cancer.
Adoptive immunotherapy is an appealing approach to cancer treatment, with the potential for more precise targeting and reduced toxicity. While early clinical trial data using adoptive T cells against post-transplant virus-associated hematologic malignancies, lymphoma and melanoma have been promising, treating other solid tumors has proven to be more challenging. Adoptive lymphocytes have been g...
متن کاملAdoptive immunotherapy
T cells expressing high avidity T-cell receptors (TCRs) have been shown to mediate superior therapeutic effects. A novel koff-rate assay allows for the quantitative and reproducible assessment of the avidity of TCRs for their ligands directly on living T cells, ex vivo. This assay might facilitate the selection of T cells with an optimal avidity for their target, hence favoring the development ...
متن کاملODE models for adoptive immunotherapy
Modified T cells that have been engineered to recognize the CD19 surface marker have recently been shown to be very successful at treating acute lymphocytic leukemias. Here we explore four previous approaches that have used ordinary differential equations to the model this type of therapy, compare their properties, and modify the models to address their deficiencies. Although the four models tr...
متن کاملAdoptive T Cell Immunotherapy for Cancer
Harnessing the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells has been the central goal of anti-cancer immunotherapy. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in optimizing this technology in order to make it a clinically feasible treatment. One of the main treatment modalities within cancer immunotherapy has been adoptive T cell therapy (ACT). Using this approach, tumor-specif...
متن کاملAdoptive immunotherapy for cancer or viruses.
Adoptive immunotherapy, or the infusion of lymphocytes, is a promising approach for the treatment of cancer and certain chronic viral infections. The application of the principles of synthetic biology to enhance T cell function has resulted in substantial increases in clinical efficacy. The primary challenge to the field is to identify tumor-specific targets to avoid off-tumor, on-target toxici...
