The potential of adoptive transfer of γ9δ2 T cells to enhance blinatumomab’s antitumor activity against B-cell malignancy

Abstract Blinatumomab, a bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) antibody targeting CD19 and CD3ε, can redirect T cells toward CD19-positive tumor cells and has been approved to treat relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL). However, chemotherapeutic regimens can severely reduce...
