Natural and revolutionary tumor-specific T-cell therapy

Recently the FDA conducted a risk investigation and labeled the Boxed Warning for all BCMA- and CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy, so does it mean that the public must take risk of secondary cancer to receive cell therapy? Here, without lentivirus and professional antigen presenting cell application, a novel tumor-specific T-cell therapy was successfully developed only by co-culturing MHC⁺ cancer cells and Naïve-T cells under the CD28 co-stimulatory signals. These tumor-specific T-cells could be separated through cell size and abundantly produced from peripheral blood, and would spontaneously attack target cells that carrying the same tumor antigen while avoiding others in vitro test. Moreover, it markedly decreased 90% tumor nodules companying with greatly improving overall survival (76 days vs 30 days) after twice infusion back to mice. This work maximally avoided the risks of secondary cancer and non-specific killing, and might open a revolutionary beginning of natural tumor-specific T-cell therapy.
