Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) regulatory T cell (Treg) therapy has approved promising in murine experiments. It comprises from ex-vivo introduction of CARs to the Tregs of the recipient, and infusing them back thereafter. This process requires enormous amounts of equipment and expertise and therefore, cannot be considered feasible for people with demyelinating diseases, even if it proves to be effective and safe in the future. The presented novel concept introduces feasibility to CAR Treg therapy, by shifting most of the ex-vivo processes in-vivo. Inter-disciplinary discussions on such concepts is encouraged among experts in different fields.
嵌合抗原受体 (CAR) 调节性 T 细胞 (Treg) 疗法在小鼠实验中已被证明有前景。它包括从受体的 Tregs 体外引入 CAR,并随后将其回输。这个过程需要大量的设备和专业知识,因此,即使在未来被证明是有效和安全的,也不能被认为对脱髓鞘疾病患者可行。本研究提出的新概念通过将大部分体外过程转移到体内,为 CAR Treg 治疗提供了可行性。鼓励不同领域的专家进行此类概念的跨学科讨论。
