Spotlighting Lupus Awareness Month: CAR-T Technology Creates New Avenues for Treatment of a Devastating Disease

WCG Clinical

CAR-T Cells Target Harmful B Cells in Lupus CAR-T cell technology, which uses genetic engineering to direct white blood cells to attack specific molecular targets, was originally proposed for treatment of HIV infection and hematological malignancies. In these cases B cell depletion is a feature, not a bug.

Q&A with Mark Garner: The golden age of cancer research  

Drug Discovery World

For example, in CAR-T-cell therapy, scientists can take T-cells from a patient and ex vivo (outside the body) genetically engineer them to effectively target and kill cancerous cells, then infuse them back in to the patient. Mark Garner, PhD., RA: Please can you tell us a bit more about your role at Agilent?

The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

Genetically modified T cells stimulated with IL2 are now administered as cell therapy for multiple cancer cell types with beneficial results 3,4. Cancer is a complex heterogenous multistep disease characterised by uncontrolled cell proliferation combined with a dysregulated immune response. This continues to be the standard of care.
