Simultaneous, cell-intrinsic downregulation of PD-1 and TIGIT enhances the effector function of CD19-targeting CAR T cells and promotes an early-memory phenotype
Abstract:CD19 targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have become an important therapeutic option for patients with relapsed and refractory B cell malignancies. However, recent clinical data indicate that a significant portion of patients still do not benefit from the therapy owing to various resistance mechanisms, including high expression of multiple inhibitory immune checkpoint receptors on activated CAR T cells. Here, we report a lentiviral two in one CAR T approach in which two checkpoint receptors are d… Show more
