Modular delivery of co-stimulatory signals through a PD-1-based immunoswitch receptor improves the functionality of Hepatitis B Virus-specific engineered T cells [PDF]
In chronic hepatitis B virus infection (cHBV), T-cell responses are skewed. This prevents the elimination of HBV-infected hepatocytes, contributes to hepatocellular carcinoma development, and limits the efficacy of T-cell therapies.

Chimeric antigen receptors that trigger phagocytosis
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are synthetic receptors that reprogram T cells to kill cancer. The success of CAR-T cell therapies highlights the promise of programmed immunity and suggests that applying CAR strategies to other immune cell lineages may

Chimeric non-antigen receptors in T cell-based cancer therapy
Adoptively transferred T cell-based cancer therapies have shown incredible promise in treatment of various cancers. So far therapeutic strategies using T cells have focused on manipulation of the antigen-recognition machinery itself, such as through ...

HLA-independent T cell receptors for targeting tumors with low antigen density
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are receptors for antigen that direct potent immune responses. Tumor escape associated with low target antigen expression is emerging as one potential limitation of their efficacy.

Toward high-throughput engineering techniques for improving CAR intracellular signaling domains
Chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) are generated by linking extracellular antigen recognition domains with one or more intracellular signaling domains derived from the T-cell receptor complex or various co-stimulatory receptors.

Deep learning-based prediction of the T cell receptor-antigen binding specificity
Neoantigens play a key role in the recognition of tumour cells by T cells; however, only a small proportion of neoantigens truly elicit T-cell responses, and few clues exist as to which neoantigens are recognized by which T-cell receptors (TCRs).

Long-term outcomes following CAR T cell therapy: what we know so far
Chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) are engineered fusion proteins designed to target T cells to antigens expressed on cancer cells. CAR T cells are now an established treatment for patients with relapsed and/or refractory B cell lymphomas, B cell acute ...

Predicting Cross-Reactivity and Antigen Specificity of T Cell Receptors
Adaptive immune recognition is mediated by specific interactions between heterodimeric T cell receptors (TCRs) and their cognate peptide-MHC (pMHC) ligands, and the methods to accurately predict TCR:pMHC interaction would have profound clinical ...
