NHL cell
TRAC gene knockout (KO)
- Eliminates TCR expression, reduces GvHD risk
Anti-CD19 CAR site-specific insertion into TRAC locus
- Eliminates random integration, targets tumor antigen
PD-1 KO for enhanced antitumor activity
- Reduces CAR-T cell exhaustion
- Potentially contributes to initial tumor debulking
1st CAR-T in the clinic with | Cas9 chRDNA editing for |
checkpoint disruption via | reduced off-target editing and |
PD-1 KO1 | enhanced genomic integrity |
CAR: chimeric antigen receptor; KO: knockout; CD: cluster of differentiation; chRDNA: CRISPR hybrid RNA-DNA; CRISPR: clustered | |
2 | regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats; PD-1: programmed cell death protein 1; TCR: T cell receptor; TRAC: T cell receptor |
alpha constant; scFv: single-chain variable fragment | |
