CAR T cell therapy becomes CHIC: “cytokine help intensified CAR” T cells
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) in the canonical “second generation” format provide two signals for inducing T cell effector functions; the primary “signal-1” is provided through the TCR CD3ζ chain and the “signal-2” through a linked costimulatory ...

CD171- and GD2-specific CAR-T cells potently target retinoblastoma cells in preclinical in vitro testing [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based T cell therapy is in early clinical trials to target the neuroectodermal tumor, neuroblastoma. No preclinical or clinical efficacy data are available for retinoblastoma to date.

TGF-β-responsive CAR-T cells promote anti-tumor immune function. [PDF]
A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that responds to transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) enables the engineering of T cells that convert this immunosuppressive cytokine into a potent T-cell stimulant.

IL-7 and CCR2b Co-Expression-Mediated Enhanced CAR-T Survival and Infiltration in Solid Tumors
Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells are not effective in solid tumor treatment due to reduced invasion and expansion, and short survival time. This study aimed to explore whether interleukin (IL)-7 and CCR2b expression could improve GD2-CAR-T cell ...

Myeloid conditioning with c-kit-targeted CAR-T cells enables donor stem cell engraftment [PDF]
We report a novel approach to bone marrow (BM) conditioning using c-kit-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T (c-kit CAR-T) cells in mice. Previous reports using anti-c-kit or anti-CD45 antibody linked to a toxin such as saporin have been promising.

Co-infusion of haplo-identical CD19-chimeric antigen receptor T cells and stem cells achieved full donor engraftment in refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
Background Elderly patients with relapsed and refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have poor prognosis. Autologous CD19 chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells have potentials to cure patients with B cell ALL; however, safety and ...

Transferrin epitope-CD19-CAR-T cells effectively kill lymphoma cells in vitro and in vivo
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell immunotherapy has demonstrated clinical success in treatment of B-cell hematologic cancers. In this study, we compared human Transferrin epitope tagged CAR-T cells with non-tagged CAR-T cells for cytotoxicity, IFN ...

Nanobody based dual specific CARs [PDF]
Recent clinical trials have shown that adoptive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a very potent and possibly curative option in the treatment of B cell leukemias and lymphomas.

CAR-T Cell Therapy for Lymphoma [PDF]
Lymphomas arise from clonal expansions of B, T, or NK cells at different stages of differentiation. Because they occur in the immunocyte-rich lymphoid tissues, they are easily accessible to antibodies and cell-based immunotherapy. Expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) on T cells is a means of combining the antigen-binding site of a monoclonal ...
