Abstract
Recently, there has been a breakthrough in immunotherapy. The development of the advanced therapy medicinal product (ATMP) is a striking example of that. Chimeric antigen receptors T cell therapy (CAR-T therapy) is the result of cooperation between biotechnologists, oncologists and immunologists. This article deals with the issues related to the development of CAR-T technology. The basics of CAR-T design and the mechanism of this therapy action are discussed. Its successes were indicated mainly in the treatment of patients with leukemias and lymphomas. EGFRvIII as an exemplary target for the therapy of solid tumors is described. However, it was pointed out what difficulties the therapy against mutated variant of epidermal growth factor receptor EGFRvIII-positive cells encounters. The growing importance of PSMA and GD2 as targets for CAR-T was also pointed out. New trends in this technology, such as the next generations of CAR-T and development of CAR-M, were noticed. Finally, the potential of CAR-T treatment in non-cancerous diseases, such as cardiac diseases, allergies or infectious diseases, including COVID-19, was characterized.
期刊介绍:
Alergologia Polska - Polish Journal of Allergology is aimed mainly at allergologists, but also medical doctors working in related fields, such as otolaryngology, pulmonology, and dermatology. The main goal of the journal is to ensure rapid publication of important research papers and interesting case studies from the following areas: allergology, diagnostics, therapy of allergic diseases, in particular in the area of immunotherapy, rhinitis, asthma. The Editorial Board accepts for publication original papers, case studies and letters to the Editor. We also publish review articles (both commissioned and those agreed upon with the Editor-in-Chief), articles dealing with standards of medical practice, as well as special issues. The journal is published quarterly. We guarantee short review times (up to two weeks) and immediate publication on-line upon Editor acceptance.
