Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy of solid cancer remains below expectations; adding cytokine help through IL-18 has shown remarkable efficacy in first clinical trials. As IL-18 is also a powerful driver of hyperinflammatory conditions, we discuss to what extent unleashing IL-18 is a double-edged sword in CAR T cell therapies.
期刊介绍：
The Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (JITC) is a peer-reviewed publication that promotes scientific exchange and deepens knowledge in the constantly evolving fields of tumor immunology and cancer immunotherapy. With an open access format, JITC encourages widespread access to its findings. The journal covers a wide range of topics, spanning from basic science to translational and clinical research. Key areas of interest include tumor-host interactions, the intricate tumor microenvironment, animal models, the identification of predictive and prognostic immune biomarkers, groundbreaking pharmaceutical and cellular therapies, innovative vaccines, combination immune-based treatments, and the study of immune-related toxicity.
