Emerging Treatment Options Utilizing Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cells
نویسنده
چکیده
Malignant cells produce specific tumor antigen receptors (TAAs), which can be engineered to be recognized by a patient’s own T-cells through the expression of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). These CAR-T cells represent the latest product of adoptive cellular immunotherapy (ACI). In particular, the engineering of CAR-T cells has been most successful to date in the targeting of CD-19 B-cell associated hematologic malignancies. This review focuses on a general review of the engineering process of CAR-T, difference between the various generations, treatment options, and associated toxicities. To date, most of the literature regarding CAR-T cells is directed towards CD19 to treat Bcell malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Background: Recently, modification of T cells with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has been an attractive approach for adoptive immunotherapy of cancers. Typically, CARs contain a single-chain variable domain fragment (scFv). Most often, scfvs are derived from a monoclonal antibody of murine origin and may be a trigger for host immune system that leads to the T-cell clearance. Nanobody is a spe...
