IMMUNORESPONSIVE CELLS EXPRESSING DOMINANT NEGATIVE FAS AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for enhancing the immune response toward cancers and pathogens. It relates to a cell comprising an antigen-recognizing receptor (e.g., a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or a T cell receptor (TCR)) and a dominant negative Fas polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the cells are antigen-directed and exhibit enhanced cell persistence, and enhanced anti-target treatment efficacy.
