IL-10-expressing CAR T cells resist dysfunction and mediate durable clearance of solid tumors and metastases

Li Tang, Yugang Guo, Yang Zhao, Yuqing Xie, Bing Feng, Xiaomeng Hu

The success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy in treating several hematopoietic malignancies has been difficult to replicate in solid tumors, in part because of T cell exhaustion and eventually dysfunction. To counter T cell dysfunction in ...
