Enhancing adoptive CD8 T cell therapy by systemic delivery of tumor associated antigens

Abstract Adoptive T-cell transfer (ACT) offers a curative therapeutic option for subsets of melanoma and hematological cancer patients. To increase response rates and broaden the applicability of ACT, it is necessary to improve the post-infusion performance of the transferred T cells. The design of...
