A T-cell independent universal cellular therapy strategy through antigen depletion.

ABSTRACT: Rationale: T cell therapeutic strategy using CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is a revolutionary, novel, and successful treatment for B-cell malignancies. However, the dependency on T-cell mediated cytotoxicity restricts CAR-T therapy as a patient-specific individualized therapy with severe side effects, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Whether a non-T-cell based universal cellular therapy can substitute CAR-T therapy is largely unknown. Methods: Various artificial antigen-recognizing cells were prepared to determine whether non-T-cell-derived CD19-scFv bearing effector cells could cause target cell death. A universal strategy for CRS-free cellular therapeutics was proposed, utilizing artificial antigen-recognizing cells (AARC), which can be manufactured
