Ex vivo T cell differentiation in adoptive immunotherapy manufacturing: Critical process parameters and analytical technologies
Sixun Chen, Tan Dai Nguyen, Kang-Zheng Lee, Dan Liu, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biotechadv.2024.108434 Adoptive immunotherapy shows great promise as a treatment for cancer and other diseases. Recent evidence suggests that the therapeutic efficacy of these cell-based therapies can be enhanced by the enrichment of less-differentiated T cell subpopulations in the therapeutic product, giving rise to a need for […]
Combination anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 therapy generates waves of clonal responses that include progenitor-exhausted CD8+ T cells
Wang et al., 2024, Cancer Cell 42, 1–16 In the new era of cancer treatment, immunotherapy has become a revolutionary therapeutic approach. Particularly, immune checkpoint inhibitors such as anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies have significantly improved the survival rates of patients with various types of cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors enhance the body’s immune response to cancer […]
