Deskripsi

Chimeric antigen receptor T cells represent a breakthrough treatment in hematologic malignancies, but insufficient level of cytotoxicity and persistence of T cells might compromise success. Authors show here that a recombinant long acting form of interleukin-7 enhances proliferation, persistence and cytotoxicity of the engineered T cells, resulting in long term disease remission.
