DOUBLE STRIKE APPROACH FOR TUMOR ATTACK: ENGINEERING T CELLS USING A CD40L:CD28 CHIMERIC CO-STIMULATORY SWITCH PROTEIN FOR ENHANCED TUMOR TARGETING IN ADOPTIVE CELL THERAPY

Double Strike Approach for Tumor Attack: Engineering T Cells Using a CD40L:CD28 Chimeric Co-Stimulatory Switch Protein for Enhanced Tumor Targeting in Adoptive Cell Therapy

Activation of co-stimulatory pathways in cytotoxic T lymphocytes expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have proven to boost effector activity, tumor rejection and long-term T cell persistence.When using antigen-specific T cell receptors (TCR) instead of CARs, the lack of co-stimulatory signals hampers robust antitumoral response, hence limit
