CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR FOR CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA - A REVIEW
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Pharamceutical and Clinical Research - Year 2019, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia cancer is a deadly one which affects the bone marrow from making it to produce more amounts of white blood cells in the humans. This disease can be treated either by radiation therapy, bone marrow transplantation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. In radiation therapy, the ionizing radiation is used toward the tumor cells, but the main drawback is the radiation may affect the normal cells as well. To overcome this drawback, immunotherapy chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is used. These CAR cells will target only the antigen of the tumor cells and not damage the normal cells in the body. In this therapy, the T-cells are taken either from the patients or a healthy donor and are engineered to express the CARs which are called as CAR-T-cells. When these CAR-T-cells come in contact with the antigen present on the surface of the tumor cells, they will get activated and become toxic to the tumor cells. This new class of therapy is having a great prospect in cancer immunotherapy.
