中国科学家发展CAR-T细胞治疗新方法 - 2020年08月03日

Local researchers say they have found a way to make tumor-fighting T cells more powerful.
T cells, a type of white blood cell, act as natural guards in the body because receptors (TCRs) on their surface can recognize tumor antigens and trigger an immune response.
As not all TCRs work on tumor antigens, scientists genetically engineered T cells, equipping them with artificial receptors called chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), to allow them to accurately find and kill tumor cells.
