CAR-T cell therapy is an innovative immune cell therapy used to treat certain types of cancer. It uses a recombinant chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to genetically engineer a patient's T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. The key to CAR-T cell therapy is to introduce CAR into the patient's T cells through genetic engineering technology. CAR is a synthetic protein consisting of an external monoclonal antibody binding domain and an internal T cell activation signaling molecule. The outer binding domain can bind to specific cancer cell surface antigens, and the inner activation signal can activate T cells and trigger an immune response.

Chimeric Antigen Receptor Between T-Cell and Cancer Cell

The process of CAR-T cell therapy involves three main steps: obtaining T cells, genetic modification and reinfusion. First, T cells are extracted from the patient's blood, and these cells are cultured and proliferated in vitro to form a large number of T cells. Secondly, the CAR gene is introduced into T cells by using genetic engineering techniques such as viral vectors or transposases, so that they can express the CAR protein. In this way, CAR-T cells have the ability to specifically recognize and attack specific cancer cells. Finally, after strict quality control and expansion, the engineered CAR-T cells were reinfused into the patient.

Once CAR-T cells are inside a patient, they seek out and bind to antigens on the surface of target cancer cells. This binding triggers a signaling pathway inside the CAR that activates T cells and releases cytotoxic substances, such as perforin and cytotoxic factors, to directly kill cancer cells. In addition, CAR-T cells can also activate other immune cells, such as natural killer cells and macrophages, enhancing the overall anti-cancer immune response.

CAR-T cell therapy has been shown to achieve remarkable efficacy in the treatment of certain hematological tumors, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. With the development of technology and the deepening of research, CAR-T cell therapy is also expanding to other types of cancer treatment. It provides cancer patients with an individualized, highly effective and promising treatment option.
