Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The efficiency of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell-based therapies depends on a sufficient expansion of CAR T cells in vivo and can be weakened by intra-tumoral suppression of CAR T cell functions, leading to a failure of therapy. For example, certain B-cell malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia are weakly sensitive to treatment with CAR T cells. Co-expression of proinflamatory...
