The human application of gene therapy to re-program T-cell specificity using chimeric antigen receptors
The adoptive transfer of T cells is a promising approach to treat cancers. Primary human T cells can be modified using viral and non-viral vectors to promote the specific targeting of cancer cells via the introduction of exogenous T-cell receptors (TCRs) or chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). This gene transfer displays the potential to increase the specificity and potency of the anticancer resp...
متن کاملEngineering Chimeric Antigen Receptors
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are recombinant protein molecules that redirect cytotoxic lymphocytes toward malignant and other target cells. The high feasibility of manufacturing CAR-modified lymphocytes for the therapy of cancer has spurred the development and optimization of new CAR T cells directed against a broad range of target antigens. In this review, we describe the main structural ...
متن کاملChimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-Cell Therapy.
Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy have been the foundation of cancer treatment. Advances in the field of immunology (a branch of science that studies all aspects of the immune system) have led to a greater understanding of the ways in which the body’s own defenses can be used for treatment of blood cancers. Cancer researchers are now studying how the immune system can help destroy ca...
متن کاملChimeric Antigen Receptors Modified T-Cells for Cancer Therapy
The genetic modification and characterization of T-cells with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) allow functionally distinct T-cell subsets to recognize specific tumor cells. The incorporation of costimulatory molecules or cytokines can enable engineered T-cells to eliminate tumor cells. CARs are generated by fusing the antigen-binding region of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) or other ligand to mem...
متن کاملChimeric Antigen Receptors T Cell Therapy in Solid Tumor: Challenges and Clinical Applications
Adoptive cellular immunotherapy (ACT) employing engineered T lymphocytes expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) has demonstrated promising antitumor effects in advanced hematologic cancers, such as relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, supporting the translation of ACT to non-hematological malignancies. Although CAR T ...
