29 CAR T Immune Therapy 29

30 T cells CAR-T are white blood cell cells therapy that attack and 11 kill viruses and cancer cells I hope Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) help T-cells recognize and destroy cancer cells 1. T cells are collected from the patient. A machine removes the desired cells from the blood, then returns the rest back to the patient. 3

31 CAR-BCMA T Cells in Myeloma: Background T cells can be genetically modified to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) specific for malignancy-associated antigens B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is expressed by normal and malignant plasma cells. BCMA is a potential target for CAR T-cell therapy for MM T Cell AntiBCMA T Cell AntiBCMA T Cell AntiBCMA T Cell AntiBCMA The patient s own T-cells were stimulated, transduced with CAR-BCMA retroviruses, and cultured for 9 days before infusion. Study presented ASH 215 evaluated CAR- BCMA T cell infusion for treatment of advanced MM 1. Carpenter RO, et al. Clin Cancer Res. 213;19: Ali SA, et al. ASH 215. Abstract LBA-1. 31
