Safety switches for adoptive cell therapy
Adoptive transfer of allogeneic and genetically modified T cells, such as CAR-T and TCR-T cells, can induce profound immune reactivity against cancer tissue. At the same time, these therapies are associated with severe off-target and on-target toxicities.

T-Bet and Eomes Regulate the Balance between the Effector/Central Memory T Cells versus Memory Stem Like T Cells [PDF]
Memory T cells are composed of effector, central, and memory stem cells. Previous studies have implicated that both T-bet and Eomes are involved in the generation of effector and central memory CD8 T cells.

Adoptive T-cell therapy of cancer. [PDF]
Adoptive immunotherapy is determined as "the isolation of antigen-specific cells, their ex vivo expansion and activation, and subsequent autologous administration" and is a promising approach to inducing antitumour immune responses. Identification of tumour antigens and monitoring the persistence and transport of transferred cells has provided our ...

Optimization of culture media for ex vivo T-cell expansion for adoptive T-cell therapy
Background: Adoptive T-cell therapy is a promising treatment strategy for cancer immunotherapy. The ability of immunotherapy based on the adoptive cell transfer of genetically modified T cells to generate powerful clinical responses has been highlighted ...

Differential effects of α4β7 and GPR15 on homing of effector and regulatory T cells from patients with UC to the inflamed gut in vivo [PDF]
Objective: Gut homing of lymphocytes via adhesion molecules has recently emerged as new target for therapy in inflammatory bowel diseases. We aimed to analyze the in vivo homing of effector (Teff) and regulatory (Treg) T cells to the inflamed gut via ...

Synthetic Antigen‐Presenting Cells for Adoptive T Cell Therapy [PDF]
Abstract Adoptive T cell therapies are transforming the treatment of solid and liquid tumors, yet their widespread adoption is limited in part by the challenge of generating functional cells. T cell activation and expansion using conventional antigen‐presenting cells (APCs) is unreliable due to the variable quality of donor‐derived ...

Immunotherapy of lung cancer: An update [PDF]
In Germany lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated death in men. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation may enhance survival of patients suffering from lung cancer but the enhancement is typically transient and mostly absent with advanced ...

Adoptive T-cell therapy for Leukemia [PDF]
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is the most robust form of adoptive cellular therapy (ACT) and has been tremendously effective in the treatment of leukemia. It is one of the original forms of cancer immunotherapy and illustrates that lymphocytes can specifically recognize and eliminate aberrant, malignant cells.

Targeting fibroblast activation protein in tumor stroma with chimeric antigen receptor T cells can inhibit tumor growth and augment host immunity without severe toxicity. [PDF]
The majority of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell research has focused on attacking cancer cells. Here, we show that targeting the tumor-promoting, nontransformed stromal cells using CAR T cells may offer several advantages.
