KEY IDEAS Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has the potential to improve the dismal outcome of patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A major challenge for CAR T-cell therapy of AML patients is identifying leukemia-specific target antigens. Immune escape through down-regulation of target antigens and/or a suppressive tumor microenvironment jeopardizes the success of CAR T-cell therapy.
要点提示 嵌合抗原受体 (CAR) T 细胞疗法有可能改善被诊断患有急性髓系白血病 (AML)的患者的预后。AML 患者 CAR T 细胞疗法的一个主要挑战是确定白血病特异性靶抗原。通过下调靶抗原和/或抑制肿瘤微环境导致免疫逃逸,危及 CAR T 细胞疗法的成功。
