Explaining Resistance to CAR T Cells

No authors listed. Cancer Discov. 2018 Jul.

Abstract

A new study reveals several attributes of T cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who respond to CAR T-cell therapy. The patients' T cells show increased expression of memory-related genes and high activity of STAT3, which promotes memory cell differentiation. The researchers also found that patients who underwent complete remission have certain CD8+ T cells.
