TARGETING THE TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT USING MANIPULATED NKT CELLS

摘要

The present invention regards methods and/or compositions related to Natural Killer T cells that are engineered to harbor an expression construct that encodes IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, and/or IL-15 and additionally or alternatively comprise a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). In specific embodiments, the CAR is a CAR that targets the GD2 antigen, for example in neuroblastoma.
