The primary focus is on harnessing this technology for modifying primary T cells, a type of white blood cell crucial for the immune response. This approach has opened new avenues for immunotherapy, providing hope for treating conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and genetic diseases. Understanding Primary T ...
They are synthesized and secreted by a range of immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, as well as certain non-immune cells like endothelial cells, epidermal cells, and fibroblasts. Cytokines are produced ...
Scientists are using a variety of gene delivery strategies to insert new genes into cells. One common biological system is viral gene delivery, where the viral vectors are modified to carry the genes and deliver them to the target cells. ...
Immune receptors are diverse and include pattern recognition receptors (PRR), Toll-like receptors (TLRs), killer activating and killer inhibitory receptors (KAR and KIR), complement receptors, Fc receptors, B cell receptors, and T cell receptors. Among these receptors, immune checkpoints and Toll-like receptors are particularly important in ...
In the world of biotechnology and cell biology, the immortalization of primary cells has long been a challenge. Traditional methods often fall short when trying to establish immortal cell lines from certain species, such as chickens, monkeys, dogs, and even human T cells. ...
The emergence of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of certain cancers, providing a promising targeted approach to eliminate cancer cells. However, the monitoring and detection of CAR-T cells in vivo remain a challenge in the evaluation of treatment ...
The T cell antigen receptor (TCR) is a characteristic marker of T cells, playing a crucial role in the immune system. ...
Therefore, understanding the genetic makeup of T cells and the function of each gene can help scientists better understand and treat various immune-related diseases.Methods to Evaluate the Efficiency of T Cell Gene Knockout1. ...
T cells are the most numerous and functionally complex type of lymphocytes, mainly including CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T2 cells, which play an important role in cellular immunity and assist in humoral immune response. According to their functions in the immune response, T lymphocytes mainly include ...
One of the most significant hurdles in drug delivery is getting therapeutic molecules inside cells. Many potential drugs cannot cross the cell membrane because of their size or polarity. Cell penetrating peptides provide a solution to this problem. They can form complexes with the therapeutic molecules, allowing them to enter ...
Several studies have shown that CpG ODN is able to stimulate cells that express TLR9, initiating an immunomodulatory cascade that culminates in the production of Th1 and proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Besides, they also can improve the antigen presenting function of dendritic cells, monocytes and macrophages, induce the proliferation of B ...
This cutting-edge technology holds great potential in treating diseases through targeted drug delivery. CAR-T/CAR-NK Cells Development for Drug Delivery Systems As a groundbreaking advancement in immunotherapy, CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell) and CAR-NK (Chimeric Antigen Receptor Natural Killer) ...
Flow cytometry (FC) is an important tool for analyzing complex pathways and responses of single cells, which can track cell phenotypes and functions in multiple dimensions. ...
Recently, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, developed a CAR-T therapy to remodel fibrosis by specifically delivering mRNA to T cells. ...
These BsAbs come in many forms, mainly including TandAb (tandem diabody), scFv-HSA-scFv, BiTE (bispecific T-cell engager), DART (dual affinity retargeting) and Nanobody. Clinical Advantages of Bispecific Antibodies Compared with ordinary antibodies, BsAb adds a specific antigen-binding site and shows the following advantages in treatment: Mediating immune ...
What is CAR T-cell therapy? Car-t cell therapy involves genetically engineering T cells isolated from patients or allogeneic donors to express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) that specifically recognize and kill tumor cells. ...
The development of effective HCV vaccines has been hindered by the variability of sequences within T cell-targeted epitopes. Most antibodies against HCV react with epitopes in the E2 glycoprotein. A novel peptide vaccine, IC41, containing five synthetic peptides with HCV T cell epitopes and the adjuvant poly-L-arginine, has been ...
It achieves this by binding to the adenosine A2A receptor (ADORA2A), which is expressed by various immune cells like T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and dendritic cells (DCs). ...
This heightened expression of CD19 makes it a valuable target for treating these diseases. CAR-T cell therapy, an immunotherapy, has demonstrated efficacy in treating B-cell lymphoma by genetically modifying the patient's T cells to carry CD19-specific receptors. ...
The antigen and antibody responses are generally referred to as specific immune responses, which require the participation of B cells and T cells. Other immune cells such as macrophages and NK cells mediate non-specific immune responses, which are part of the body's natural defense system. ...
