Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is one of the most promising approaches in anticancer therapy and an exponential number of pre-clinical and clinical studies are being carried out every year to expand its use. CAR T-cell therapy represents a cellular immunotherapy where T-cells are redirected against the tumor after engineered expression of CARs. CARs are receptor proteins that have been designed to give T-cells the new ability to target a specific antigen. The process involves taking T-cells from blood, editing the T-cells to express a CAR to recognize a specific antigen on the targeted cell (e.g., CD19 on B-cells or CD38 on plasma cells), growing those cells in the laboratory, and then administering them to the patient to bind to cancer cells and eliminate them.
