Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are changing the therapeutic landscape for hematological malignancies. To date, all six CAR T cell products approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are autologous and centrally manufactured. As the numbers of approved products and indications continue to grow, new strategies to increase cell-manufacturing capacity are urgently needed to ensure patient access. Distributed manufacturing at the point of care or at other local manufacturing sites would go a long way toward meeting the rising demand. To ensure successful implementation, it is imperative to harness novel technologies to achieve uniform product quality across geographically dispersed facilities. This includes the use of automated cell-production systems, in-line sensors and process simulation for enhanced quality control and efficient supply chain management. A comprehensive effort to understand the critical quality attributes of CAR T cells would enable better definition of widely attainable release criteria. To supplement oversight by national regulatory agencies, we recommend expansion of the role of accreditation bodies. Moreover, regulatory standards may need to be amended to accommodate the unique characteristics of distributed manufacturing models. Shortages of CAR T cells should be alleviated by distributed manufacturing, according to Elsallab and Maus.

Using an experimental and computational framework inspired by compressed sensing, we greatly reduced the number of measurements needed to run Perturb-seq. Our compressed Perturb-seq strategy relies on collecting measurements comprising random linear combinations of genetic perturbations, followed by deconvolving the perturbation effects on the transcriptome using sparsity-exploiting algorithms.

Pooled CRISPR screens with single-cell RNA sequencing readout (Perturb-seq) have emerged as a key technique in functional genomics, but they are limited in scale by cost and combinatorial complexity. In this study, we modified the design of Perturb-seq by incorporating algorithms applied to random, low-dimensional observations. Compressed Perturb-seq measures multiple random perturbations per cell or multiple cells per droplet and computationally decompresses these measurements by leveraging the sparse structure of regulatory circuits. Applied to 598 genes in the immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide, compressed Perturb-seq achieves the same accuracy as conventional Perturb-seq with an order of magnitude cost reduction and greater power to learn genetic interactions. We identified known and novel regulators of immune responses and uncovered evolutionarily constrained genes with downstream targets enriched for immune disease heritability, including many missed by existing genome-wide association studies. Our framework enables new scales of interrogation for a foundational method in functional genomics. Compressed Perturb-seq incorporates compressed sensing to genetic screening for scalable discovery of genetic interactions.

The broad application of precision cancer immunotherapies is limited by the number of validated neoepitopes that are common among patients or tumor types. To expand the known repertoire of shared neoantigen–human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complexes, we developed a high-throughput platform that coupled an in vitro peptide–HLA binding assay with engineered cellular models expressing individual HLA alleles in combination with a concatenated transgene harboring 47 common cancer neoantigens. From more than 24,000 possible neoepitope–HLA combinations, biochemical and computational assessment yielded 844 unique candidates, of which 86 were verified after immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry analyses of engineered, monoallelic cell lines. To evaluate the potential for immunogenicity, we identified T cell receptors that recognized select neoepitope–HLA pairs and elicited a response after introduction into human T cells. These cellular systems and our data on therapeutically relevant neoepitopes in their HLA contexts will aid researchers studying antigen processing as well as neoepitope targeting therapies. A large resource of shared tumor neoepitopes aims to accelerate cancer immunotherapy.
