Armoring CAR-T Therapy with PD-1 Blockade
The efficacy of CAR-T therapy is substantially influenced by the tumor microenvironment. This is particularly evident when PD-L1 is activated through CAR-T, leading to the inhibition of CAR-T cell activity via the PD-1 pathway. At AACR 2024, WuXi AppTec presented a poster describing an engineered CAR-T therapy that targets mesothelin and concurrently expresses a membrane-bound …Read More >

Control of the Antitumor Activity and Specificity of CAR T Cells via Organic Adapters Covalently Tethering the CAR to Tumor Cells
On-target, off-tumor toxicity is a specific type of toxic side effect that limits the anticancer applicability of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. In our latest publication, WuXi AppTec scientists contributed to a study describing how the tumor-targeting specificity and activity of T cells with a CAR (consisting of an antibody that catalytically forms a …Read More >

PD-1 Blockade Protein in 4th Generation Armored CAR-T Cells Enhances Cytotoxicity Effect with in vitro Re-challenge System
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells are genetically engineered T cells that express a surface receptor to recognize tumor-associated antigens (TAA). CAR-T cell therapy have demonstrated remarkable success with hematological malignancies. However, limited headway has been made towards solid tumor, due to various challenges, including recognition of tumor-specific antigen trafficking and penetration, localization and survival within …Read More >
