Monocyte lineage–derived IL-6 does not affect chimeric antigen receptor T-cell function

The Absence of IL-6 Does Not Affect Th2 Cell

Advancing Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Engineered T-Cell Immunotherapy Using Genome Editing Technologies: Challenges and Future Prospects

Chimeric antigen receptor engineered-T (CAR-T) cells also named as living drugs, have been recently known as a breakthrough technology and were applied as an adoptive immunotherapy against different types of cancer. They also attracted widespread interest because of the success of B-cell malignancy therapy achieved by anti-CD19 CAR-T cells. Current genetic toolbox enabled the synthesis of CARs ...

Bispecific antibody does not induce T-cell death mediated by chimeric antigen receptor against disialoganglioside GD2

Chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) and bispecific antibodies (BsAb) are two powerful immunotherapy approaches for retargeting lymphocytes toward cancer cells. Despite their success in lymphoblastic leukemia, solid tumors have been more recalcitrant. Identifying therapeutic barriers facing CAR-modified (CART) or BsAb-redirected T (BsAb-T) cells should facilitate their clinical translation to solid...

Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-Cell Therapy.

Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy have been the foundation of cancer treatment. Advances in the field of immunology (a branch of science that studies all aspects of the immune system) have led to a greater understanding of the ways in which the body’s own defenses can be used for treatment of blood cancers. Cancer researchers are now studying how the immune system can help destroy ca...

IL-6 signaling blockade increases inflammation but does not affect muscle function in the mdx mouse

BACKGROUND IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that modulates inflammatory responses and plays critical roles in muscle maintenance and remodeling. In the mouse model (mdx) of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, IL-6 and muscle inflammation are elevated, which is believed to contribute to the chronic inflammation and failure of muscle regeneration in DMD. The purpose of the current study was to examine the...
