Adoptive Immunotherapy For Leukemia With Ex vivo Expanded T Cells

Curr Drug Targets. 2017;18(3):271-280. doi: 10.2174/1389450117666160209143529.

Abstract

The development of novel T cell therapies to target leukemia has facilitated the translation of this approach for hematologic malignancies. Different methods of manufacturing leukemia-specific T cells have evolved, along with additional measures to increase the safety of this therapy. This is an overview of expanded T cell therapeutics with a focus on how the manufacturing strategies have been refined, and where the research is heading.

Keywords: Cell therapy; ex vivo expanded T cells.; leukemia antigens.
