Glyco-binding domain chimeric antigen receptors as a new option for cancer immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT: In the last decade, treatment using Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) are largely studied and demonstrate the potential of immunotherapeutic strategies, as seen mainly for blood related cancers. Still, efficient CAR-T cell approaches especially for the treatment of solid tumors are needed. Tn- and Sialyl-Tn antigens are tumor associated carbohydrate antigens correlating with poor prognosis and tumor metastasis on a variety of tumor entities. These glycans can be recognized by CD301 (CLEC10A, MGL), which is a surface receptor found primarily on immune cells. In the present study, we hypothesized, that it is possible to use newly generated CD301-bearing CARs, enabling cytotoxic effector cells to recognize and eliminate breast cancer cells. Thus, we genetically modified human NK92 cells with di
