Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell–based therapies offer a novel approach to cancer therapy. Thy use genetically engineered T cells to specifically target tumor cells. CAR T cells are generated from patient-derived T cells (autologous) or from healthy donors (allogenic). After enrichment and genetic modification T cells are expanded ex vivo and reinfused into the patient where the CAR T cells bind to the specific surface antigen and kill the tumor cell.
To develop such therapies, it is necessary identify CAR T cell targets and the suitable starting cell subset (e.g. α/β T cells, γ/δ T cells). Furthermore, CAR safety, specificity, and efficacy are analyzed and improved before novel CAR T cells are verified in several mouse models.
