Scientists have empowered immune cells with a new surface molecule that makes the cells to respond aggressively when they encounter a protein that tumors use to camouflage themselves from the immune system.
Cancer develop from the body's own cells, this make it difficult for the immune system to differentiate between good cells cancer cells.
Adoptive T-cell therapy is the removing of immune cells from the body and genetically strengthen them. The cells are given new structures on the surface that accurately lead them to the cancer cells.
The binding activates the T-cell's killer program, making it strong enough to destroyed more tumor cells.
