CRO Services for Immune Cell Therapy

As a promising field in cancer treatment, immunotherapy is expected to be a potential breakthrough in "curing" cancers. A significant development in this field is the chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, which has demonstrated remarkable results in treating blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. To broaden the application range for CAR-T cell therapies, researchers have generated allogeneic, or universally-applicable, CAR-T cells by removing TCR and CD52 in order to avoid graft versus host disease (GVDH).

At the same time, many researchers have focused their attention on researching the potential applications of CAR on relatives of T cells’- our natural killer (NK) cells. Compared with T cells, NK cells have a unique mechanism which does not require pre-activation to stimulate its immune function, and the recognition of the target is not limited by the presence of major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules. Thus, CAR-NK cells are suitable for allogeneic cell therapy, or universal patient applications from a single set of standardized cells. In addition, CAR-NK cell therapy has weaker side effects and typically does not cause severe CRS or neurotoxic effects as seen with CAR-T cells. Given that CAR-NK cells offer unique advantages over CAR-T cells, CAR-NK cell therapies have become a rapidly growing area of research. Inquire Now
