Abstract
The application relates to a preparation method of AFFT1 cells, wherein RFF cells are modified by using a TCR-T technical principle, and the modified T cells are subjected to immunosuppression target knockout by using a gene editing technology, so that specific killer T cells are accurately protected from in vivo inhibition, and the lethality of the T cells to tumor cells is improved.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to an AFFT1 cell and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Currently, the existing LAK, DC, CIK, DC-CIK cells and methods have proven largely ineffective in the specific immunotherapy of tumors, while NK, CAR-NK, TIL, etc. cell technologies remain to be mature and CAR-T cells have drawbacks in safety and solid tumor therapy.
The prior art generally produces specific killing by DC presenting T cells by engineering the DC cells. Some laboratories have attempted to transfect presenting T cells using viruses as vectors to induce specific killing of T cells. We have also used mutant mixed polypeptides to directly stimulate PBMCs and induce T cells. There are also laboratories that use TCR-T technology for targeted presentation of MAGE a3 antigen.
The above treatment methods are not mature, and especially, the technologies for inducing DC cells in vitro and loading tumor antigens on DC cells are more researched theoretically, but there are many problems in the specific implementation process, and clear molecules related to signal transduction pathways critical for the development of tumor cells are not used as the induced antigens, so that the realization of specific cell-targeted immunotherapy is difficult to implement smoothly because the tumor antigens are not clear and the immune suppression of tumor microenvironment is hindered. In addition, some of them have not performed in vitro co-culture and in vitro amplification despite the in vitro antigen-impact, and have difficulty in achieving desired effects because a thin specific cell directly faces a complicated tumor microenvironment. Although some can also be presented and co-cultured in vitro, the target is single (MAGE-3), and only acts on individual cancer species such as non-small cell lung cancer. Although methods that are slow-toxic to vectors have been attempted for transfection presentation, they are not as safe and convenient as polypeptides. While direct stimulation by simply mixing polypeptides is simple and convenient, it is inefficient. Secondary stimulation of the anisotropically precise polypeptide is not as direct as tumor-specific antigens transduced by T cell receptors. Existing TCR-ts lack an accurate TCR covering more tumor species in solutions for treating hematological and solid tumors.
None of the above schemes consider the self-protective technology of T cells, so that a small number of specific T cells directly face a powerful immune microenvironment.
