Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) Cell Therapy
Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) Cell Therapy is a technique for engineering T cells, which are part of the immune system, to combat cancer.
- White blood cells known as T cells combat invading invaders.
- T cells from patients' blood are extracted and altered by inserting a gene for a synthetic receptor (called CAR).
- CAR is a unique receptor that was developed in a lab and is intended to bind to particular proteins on cancer cells.
- CAR is then added to T cells. This helps them better identify specific cancer cell antigens. These changed T cells called CAR- T cells.
- CAR-T cells are then ....
