Tóm tắt

Significance We describe an approach based on cytokine therapeutics to enhance the persistence and effectiveness of T-cell–based immunotherapies using chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). This strategy is effective without the use of high-dose exogenous cytokines that are typically associated with toxicities. Moreover, we report that the persistence of the least differentiated memory T cell, the T-memory stem cell, was promoted by signaling induced by a membrane-bound chimeric IL-15 cytokine-fusion molecule. These findings may contribute to improving the safety and therapeutic efficacy of CAR-based immunotherapies of patients with advanced cancer.
