Engineering Chimeric Antigen Receptors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are recombinant protein molecules that redirect cytotoxic lymphocytes toward malignant and other target cells. The high feasibility of manufacturing CAR-modified lymphocytes for the therapy of cancer has spurred the development and optimization of new CAR T cells directed against a broad range of target antigens. In this review, we describe the main structural and functional elements constituting a CAR, discuss the roles of these elements in modulating the anti-tumor activity of CAR T cells, and highlight alternative approaches to CAR engineering.

Background and Objective: Harnessing immune system and its powerful arm, T lymphocytes, against tumor cells are yielding promising results in cancer immunotherapy. Using two arms of immune system in the designing of engineered T cells expressing chimeric receptors with anti-HER2 nanobody (camelid single domain antibody) seems to be an effective strategy in the targeted cancer therapy. ...

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 ...
متن کاملDesign and Production of a Novel Recombinant Chimeric IL2-Omp31 Antigen against Brucella Infection
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease in human and animals. Brucella melitensis is one of the most pathogenic species of Brucella in goat and sheep. Omp31 is an outer membrane protein of Brucella that acts as an immunogenic protein. Cytokines are glycoproteins with low molecular weight that play the role of an immune adjuvant and regulate immune responses. Interleukin-2 is one of the most important...
متن کاملPriming Hepatitis B Surface (HBsAg)- and Core Antigen (HBcAg)-Specific Immune Responses by Chimeric, HBcAg with a HBsAg ‘a’ Determinant
We developed an immunogen to stimulate multivalent immunity against hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antigens (HBcAg). Immune responses specific for both HBsAg and HBcAg play an important role in controlling the infection. HBsAg-specific antibodies mediate elimination of virions at an early stage of infection and prevent the spread of virus. The immunogen was constructed...
متن کاملEmerging Treatment Options Utilizing Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cells
Malignant cells produce specific tumor antigen receptors (TAAs), which can be engineered to be recognized by a patient’s own T-cells through the expression of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). These CAR-T cells represent the latest product of adoptive cellular immunotherapy (ACI). In particular, the engineering of CAR-T cells has been most successful to date in the targeting of CD-19 B-cell as...
